My 1.5 year old hen was okay this morning but since last 2.5 - 3 hours she wont walk and cant even stand. Now I have oberved that her vent is swollen and scanty white discharge keeps coming out of it. Shes eating all okay but cant support herself on her legs.

Have you checked her for egg binding?

Oh good!
Is she perking up a little?

Sounds like she was having trouble laying her egg, so she may be exhausted. Here's what I would do for aftercare.
Get some Calcium into her (1/2 Caltrate with D3 or you can give TUMS if that's all you have). I would also direct dose her with poultry vitamins if you have them.
See that she's drinking well, then offer a bit of food. Once she's fairly bright within herself, eating/drinking and pooping (she needs to be able to poop), then I would put her back with the flock and observe her for a couple of days. I would also continue the calcium for 2-3 days.

Do you provide oyster shell free choice for your ladies?

She was eating and drinking fine and She pooped thrice while egg was still stuck inside her (and we didnt know about egg binding) plus she has pooped once after egg came put. And I'll try giving her calcium now. Thankyou once again.
