One of my best chickens is not doing to good. Has been lethargic last couple days doesn’t move around much. Potentially has been laying soft broken eggs so I was worried about her being egg bound or egg broke inside her. Gave her a warm bath with epsom salt and massaged her abdomen. Then after the bath as she was walking around had a very large clear/white/green mucus stool. Unsure what to do next. I have her isolated in a clean pen with water. Also gave her a calcium supplement. Any help?!

I'd give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week.

Work on hydration and see if she will eat.

Check her crop to make sure its emptying overnight, look her over for lice/mites.

Has she been dewormed?

You mention she may have been laying soft broken eggs, have you noted any membrane or egg material coming from the vent. Hopefully the calcium will help her expel any material.
