I felt underneath her today for swelling, and found her quite hard and swollen. I checked the other hens just to be sure and she was the only one. She hasn't laid in a while, due to age and winter. Up until a few days ago she was absolutely fine. After this swelling and straining, I would imagine she is eggbound?

Could be egg bound, or have egg yolk peritonitis. I don't have experience with either problem, but I would do a little searching on the topic and learn as much as you can.

The awkward thing about the problems I've had with the hybrids is that they have all displayed different symptoms.
