Is something wrong with this pullet?

Picture For example. For most of the day, I cannot recall when exactly it began, she’s been standing and walking in that hunched-back pose and panting with her wings hanging out. She hasn’t laid an egg today, but did yesterday. Today was the first time she was put on wire flooring. Im not sure how to identify an egg-bound bird, or what else may be wrong with her.

She looks very hot.

As far as Florida weather goes, it’s been a fairly cool day today. I’ve never had 86-degree(Fahrenheit) weather affect a bird this badly. Should I not be concerned about her then?

I hope I’m just overreacting. Don’t want to loose this pullet.

She isn’t inclined to roost either. It’s already dark and her cage-mates are roosting but she was just standing on the floor in the same pose. I put her on a roost. Should I leave her be or is there anything i can do for her?

Do you have any calcium citrate? Open her beak, stick a pill in. She'll swallow it. If she's egg bound, it will help with contractions. If she's not, it won't hurt anything.
