Hen Sick- Thinking Ascites/Water Belly

She's still alive. She doesn't look as bloated anymore and her poops are now normal. But she's lying down all day without moving much and I assume she is drinking since she would have dehydrated already if she didn't. She also doesn't stand like a penguin like she was earlier. I don't know if she's exhausted since she recovered from being sick, has an egg stuck in her that isn't blocking her poop anymore, or is just dying of old age or a reproductive problem. I'm thinking giving her some calcium might help, but don't know what else to do.
Have you tried to drain her yet? Sorry I don't know how to do it.
 
No, I don't think I have the skills necessary to do so safely. If it messes up the hen could die from shock or get seriously hurt.
