If she bloated she'll pass even if you try to drain fluid... if she's obese she'll pass but u can stop that by walking her like I said... if she's egg borne she will pass from so many eggs backing up.... if she has some disease she will die.. TAKE HER TO THE VET PLZ!! So when she does pass you will not be left in the dark

She walks around all day. I don't need a leash. I didn't feel any egg binding.

If it's going to kill her anyway, I'd rather not do the needle thing. I went through that with a goat once, and that was very unpleasant.

Just enjoy her while you can.
If she gets to uncomfy looking and you can tell she is suffering..help her to not suffer anymore.
There isn't really much more than that to do.
I am sorry.
If she is internally laying it is most likely not something that you could have prevented.
It just happens.

Couldn't have said it any better if she's suffering put her to rest

Most chickens usually stop laying eggs at age 3 so how old is she I'm to lazy to go back to beginning to check

Can you get a picture of her rearend? Is her lower belly tight like a drum, or it is very full and spongy or firm? If tight like a drum which can indicate ascites (fluid in the belly,) or enlarged which may be egg material or lash eggs inside the abdomen. If you can look for Speckledhen's excellent video from a couple of days ago, it may be enlightening about reproductive disorders. Most of us with hatchery stock chickens see it once in awhile. Draining the abdomen in a hen with ascites is only a temporary fix, not a cure. It may make one feel more comfortable, but she will still have the problem.
Another problem in hens is fatty liver hemorrhagic disease which can affect overweight hens, and while it may be diet related, it is thought to also possibly be hereditary.

This has been going on for months. Her poops were really runny, then everything seemed to clear up. She still had a wide stance and kind of waddled, but looked A-OK. I just attributed that to her build and possibly being obese. Just yesterday and today I noticed her laying down to eat scratch, so I started looking more closely. It looks like the runny poop is back, and I noticed how bloated she is. Other than that she looks very healthy: strong, eats well, great feathers, free ranges all day.
