My hen has been walking like a penguin for the past week and hasn’t layed an egg in over 4 days I’ve been giving he warm baths and just check her vet for a stuck egg I don’t feel anything she is eating normally and pooping normally what is wrong with her?
 
It sounds like she's egg bound. Try giving her a Tum or calcium pill all crushed up. Those will help improve the strength of the contractions so she can push the egg out easier. Put a little vegetable oil or vaseline around her vent and very gently massage her abdomen from front to back. That will help to encourage contractions to happen. But you will have to be extremely careful while doing this so the egg doesn't break. After that, put her in a dark, quiet place so she can try to lay the egg. You may have to do this several times over the next few hours if she doesn't pass the egg.

Anyone's guess....most likely one of these:
