Hen is Behaving Strange

[ShelbsAndTheOlympians]

My hen, last night, started to walk very low to the ground, different from her usual crouch. She also has her wings lightly agape. When I, or her favorite person, my dad, calls her, she doesn't respond. She hasn't even been responding to the chirps of our rooster, and usually she'll sprint to him as soon as he starts up. Also, when I tried to give her favorite treat (we give her crackers as a special treat) she just walked away!
She looks to be fine, pecking around and not running into anything so I know she can see us. (I mention that because she has had one issue with her eye in the past where she would not open it, and we're very sure she's at least half blind in that eye now.)
Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Could she be going broody? Does she fluff herself up? Isolating in the nest box?

How old and what breed is she?

Please post photos of her and her poop.

When was her last egg?

If she's not laid an egg and should have, get Extra Calcium into her ASAP.

You can find Calcium Citrate+D3 at Walmart, CVS, etc. Pop 1 tablet right into the beak and let her swallow. Do this for 5 days in a row.

She did end up laying an egg today, but she's still not wanting to be around my dad which is strange for her

How old and what breed is she?

She's a Welsummer hen, a little over a year I believe

Can you post a picture of her? What does her crop feel like?

Pardon typos, arthritis.

I'd still get extra calcium into her.
