Go to the top search and look for post subjects: egg bound and also internal layer. For author, I would try dlhunicorn. If nothing comes up, run the search without an author. I saw a pic about a month ago that looked similar but not as severe. Goodluck!

This is something that comes to mind when I was looking at your pics.

I don't think there is a cure.

Is firm with a mass in it and it is below the vent, were did you put on the google post about the yolk one?

i could be wayyyyyy off in left field here but here's what i found

Lymphoid Leucosis is a disease that affects chickens caused by the retrovirus Avian leukosis virus.

It is a neoplastic disease caused by a virus of the leucosis which may take the form of a tumor of the bursa of Fabricius and metastasis to other tissues of the chicken and cause enlargement and swelling of the abdomen.

WOW! Whatever you do, DO NOT LET HER NEAR YOUR HOME FLOCK! I would isolate all of those birds...far, far, away from your other birds, and I would make golly gee whiz sure that I used bio-hazard precautions, such as good hand washing and lysol spray on clothes and bleach wash on shoes to eliminate risk of cross-contamination....just in case! I would rather be safe than singing the "Sorry" song.
That is gnarly looking, any chance she might have a wolf worm that has gone septic? Just putting it out there...but you need the Unicorn.
