HELP! What’s wrong with my chicken?

You're looking for a fenbendazole based product, but we'll set aside for now.
How is she standing?
Hunched back? Fluffed up? How do her poops look?

This is her. Ok, i felt her underbelly and it feels squishy, like maybe an egg is stuck? I felt one of my other girls and it definitely feels different

Do you have tums or calcium citrate you could give her?

I have calcium citrate plus d3. It’s 650mg of calcium and 25mcg of vitamin d3. It’s also in a huge tablet. How do I give? And how often/how many days?

Just pull down on her wattle and pop it in her beak. I can't tell if she's leaning far back enough to look like she's have a reproductive issue, it won't hurt though.

Before you replied, I dissolved it in water and syringed it to her. I put her back in the cage with water and some treats/food and a fan.

I just went back to check on her and she seems to have perked up a bit. Was pecking at the food. More alert, but still pale.

I haven’t dealt with a reproductive issue yet but I did pick up a few of my other girls and felt their other side, and this girl definitely had a squishy, round feel to her that the other ones do not.

What do I do now/moving forward?

Just offer supportive care, she may just be have a rough time with this molt and feels lousy.
