Sick Silkie... Egg Bound or Something else?

Update:

Jemimah is worse today. She can't even stand now. She will try and walk and just flops on her face. I gave her a warm back today and tried to feel for an egg and couldn't feel anything. I squirted 5cc of mineral oil in her last night and this morning. She has passed normal looking stool. She will eat a little and drink a little. I dissolved tums and had her drink some of it. I also mixed up an olive oil layena crumble mixture which she ate tonight. How long does this last if she is egg bound? I am going to take her to the vet Monday if I can find one that sees parrots. How do I know if she is an internal layer? What are the signs?
 
Also when I felt inside for an egg it was really warm. I'd almost say hot. Is that normal?
 
Hi guys, I think my silkie may be egg bound? I noticed her at my back door last night sitting down and her tail moving up and down. And she is like that again this morning. I have taken a video and attached it. She laid an egg yesterday morning fine....
Thanks in advance.

You found a thread from 2011 to tag onto, so very unlikely any of the posters would respond.

How is she doing?
In the video, to me, it looks like she's just resting and you are seeing her breath. There's 2 abdominal air sacs.

If you feel she's in distress or egg bound, then it would be wise to gather her up, examine her, feel for an egg and get some Calcium Citrate into her. Keep her hydrated.
