I just went in to collect eggs and inspect boxes and found she did lay another softie.. most likely last night.. i’m pretty sure this one had a yolk.

Is she a standard sized bird, a round 5 or so pounds? I would start her on 250mg of Amoxicillin twice daily for 7 to 10 days. You can get them here, they are dosed orally... https://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=77

What I do is open the capsule an add it to about 1ml of Gerber Baby food. Load it into a syringe, no needle, and squeeze this mix under the tongue.

I would also give her 250 mg of human calcium citrate this way, twice daily for about 5 days. Crush the tablet and mix with runny baby food, draw into syringe and carefully squirt into her beak.
 
Good Morning! I found another softie from her.. looks like it has an umbilical cord attached 😟

She definitely has something terribly wrong internally. I would definitely run a course of antibiotics through her.

Very well possible something is wrong with some kind of infection. But if you dont know what it is, you might give the wrong antibiotics and make the chicken even more sick as she is now.
It is also a bad thing to give antibiotics to animals without seeing a ovary vet first , because wrongly given antibiotics can cause severe problems for human health care with resistent bacteria.
