Chirping
I don’t see anything visibly wrong and she is completely docile. Have no idea what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

I am not sure on the laying as she and our other barred rock’s eggs look similar. She was acting fine and eating and drinking yesterday. She is standing with her butt sort of down. Would that be egg binding? I am thinking of going ahead and doing an Epsom salt bath as I can’t think of anything else. Thoughts?Has she layed an egg recently? It is possible she may be egg bound. A picture of the hen, how she is standing, and a pic of her poop would be great if possible.
I would go ahead with the bath, especially of her tail is pointed down.I am not sure on the laying as she and our other barred rock’s eggs look similar.

I did the bath for 30 minutes and she did not mind at all. After drying her off I did a light massage in her undercarriage and put some petroleum jelly around her vent. I put her on the coop on her own as the rest are in the run. I noticed she was a little wobbly and she expelled a little poop that was liquid and a cream color with white. She was completely fine yesterday and pecking at a cabbage ball with others and eating and drinking normal. Her comb is still a good color. I feel I have done all that I can, but it is not looking good. Thanks for your responses.I would go ahead with the bath, especially of her tail is pointed down.
