My Chicken has had 3 'eggs' in 12 hours

[Vek]

My 1.5 year old White Rock hen is very sick and I can't find anything online to help me figure out what is going on. She did not lay an egg yesterday, last I checked for eggs was 3pm. I checked the coop and found her egg at 10am today. Normal size, coloring, she was acting fine. They're in a tractor and I moved their coop/run, she was running around foraging and being a menace to the others like her usual self. Then at 3pm I went to give them treats and she didn't move at all when she's usually shoving everyone out of the way to get them. I was watching her and she seemed like she was in pain and trying to poo/push an egg out for the 20 min I watched her. I took her out and looked at her vent, it was pink, free of any pests and wasn't prolapsed or anything. I put her down and she moved to forage/eat a little but wasn't moving as fast as usual. I came back to check on her an hour later and she was laying down in a corner, it was like she was depressed [in searching for answers this was a common term used, that's exactly how she seemed]. I put her in a warm bath and she seemed to relax and she was able to poo. I put her in my old brooder and she wouldn't even groom/shake herself off, so I held her in a towel with a heating pad and she passed a soft shell egg. I thought this was why she was struggling/feeling so bad so I put her in the brooder to go to bed but when I checked on her she had passed ANOTHER egg yolk/whites into the bedding. The timing means she passed 3 'eggs' [as in ovulation-wise, yolks of some sort] in a 12 hour period. I'm so incredibly worried about her and nothing I've found online is giving me answers. Why would she pass 3 yolks so quickly? I can't get into a vet until later tomorrow so any insight would help me, thanks so much..

Hmm. Has she had a shock like predators or new environment? What is her diet like?

forgot to mention, but when I looked at her vent twice it strongly smelled sweet like a sugary drink? Trying to search for a smell only brought up vent gleet, which is said to smell horrible.

There has been a hawk stalking my coop, but it's given up for a week now. Her diet is Purina Layena crumble, oyster shell, and treats of mealworms and grapes every couple days

I'm sorry your girl is sick and yes it does sound like she is extremely sick.
Please do not bathe her again.

You said you were going out to give them treats... What exactly have you been feeding and how often do you feed treats?

Do you feed mealworms daily? If so please stop. They are extremely high in fat.

If a vet visit is an option then I highly recommend going to a vet to get antibiotics.

I would give her a human calcium tablet with D 3 in case she is having a problem passing eggs. Repeat it for 3 days. There may have been eggs in production, and there may have been a problem with egg binding.

I do give the mealworms daily, I didn't know it was bad for them I don't give a lot, like a handful a day for 4 laying hens. I will cut back on that. Would high fat be the cause of my chicken being this sick?

She's my daily layer, so her missing a day always alarms me lol She laid 2 days ago, skipped a day, then today had 3 yolks
