Need help for my old girl..

[Bronx girls]

Hi Guys I do have a question my old girl has been walking very slow, sometimes looks likes she squatting, poops very little, will stand very still for a long time, she does still eat and drink but very little (still goes crazy for blueberries) has lost weight, she just isn't her happy self, she is about 6 years old and has been pretty healthy her sister died about 2 months ago she was very depressed and refused to leave the coop, her last egg was last summer but a couple of weeks ago she was sitting in her nesting box, I do give her Durvet vitamins and electrolytes any help appreciated. Thank you!!

It sounds like she has a reproductive problem. Feel her abdomen below the vent, between the legs, see if it feels bloated. At her age, and since she's not laying, that seems most likely. Causes can be cancers, infections, internal laying. There is often pressure in the abdomen that makes them feel like they need to lay. It can also slow digestion, cause crops to slow and sour, and makes digestion and expelling droppings difficult.
