Possible egg bound? Cocci?

Poop this afternoon looks much like the one from this morning/last night. A lot of urates. I let her outside with the rest and her energy seems better. Devoured some mealworms and came running when the rooster called. And was preening feathers. Her abdomen is still squishy.

Sometimes they do perk up a bit when they are back with the flock. Still coming for treats, preening and listening to the rooster, she is making an effort:)

Sometimes it's hard to know which direction to go when they are like this. Antibiotics may help for a short period of time. I usually just watch mine closely and if they seem to have an off or bad day, they get extra attention. I'm not opposed to medication, but it would be more for supportive care instead of a cure-nothing wrong with that either.
Give her a day or so and see how she does, if she stays the same or improves great. If not you can try antibiotics to see if that makes a difference.
