Hi everyone I have my year old chicken acting very odd. She was laying dish in the grass with her tail tucked and having a hard time walking. We have been having some issues with her and calcium deposits and soft eggs lately. She did lay an egg today that was softer and broke . I put her in a warm epsolm salt bath and gave her some nutri drench and tums crushed up. What could this be and what do i do??? She’s my baby and none of the vets are taking chickens near me right now and now she’s panting
 
Update: she finally popped and it had a little piece of what looked like a clump of clay which I’m guessing is something to do with her eggs. She’s eating a little bit of food but she’s still walking really weird
 
I felt inside her vent and couldn’t feel anything hard like an egg or even sharp egg shells. It just felt like soft inside tissues. Her croop also just feels kind of soft like there’s water in but I can also feel little pebbles of food
 
Now she has this poop. It looks like mucous and something else in it

she has grass IN her poop ? What kind of chicken is she ?
Yeah grass in it... they get plenty of free choice grit and oyster shell and free range in my yard all day and she’s eating an all flock feed cause I have a mixed flock. She’s an ameraucana “Easter Egger”
