I think my Buff Ruby is EGGBOUND.....***HELP***

Does her belly feel full of fluid?
Hard or squishy?

her crop feels empty and she feels fine except for the bottom under her vent it feels swollen but not two squishy. Also I don't think its warm to touch as I had originally thought, feels the same temp as under the wing just warmer than I expected. I did see some broken feathers that she acted sensitive to at the top of her tail when I was feeling her again a bit ago. I can tell something in her backend is bothering her just not sure what.

Her posture (tail down) and feather pulling from rear.

Also she hasn't laid in a while her production was slow before our trip and didn't lay at all while we were away(she is only brown layer), it had been super hot and humid right then cooled back down and rainy.
