Hen not eating, moving, laid soft shell, stayed in coop all day

When you get home give her the calicum. But that is good that she seems to have perked up! I have a hen that acts lethargic and seems like she is pushing from her vent. A night later and she is fine.

Gave her Tums when I got home last night. Unfortunately she was scratching and pecking just yesterday morning, the rest of the day she was back to not doing much, not eating, just drinking.

This morning is same, not eating and staying in place. Her crop is small and squishy, less than a ping pong ball size. I gave her a warm bath to see if she's still getting pale yellow runs but there was solid black poop in the cage. She still looks like she's pushing her vent and her fluffy underside feels full. She hasn't laid an egg since Monday after the soft egg, I'm wondering if there's one stuck.

Below is her vent after the bath, feathers a bit wet. Also video of her vent pushing. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pSCj5ACZdLRn5DrK6

Im sorry she hasn’t got better. Make sure you give her the tums or calcium daily. Feel under her vent until her abdomen, do you feel some lump? It could be the egg.
