Something wrong with my silkie hen please help!!!

If you think she is egg bound, then you need to help her out.
If she is not lethargic and stressed, you can soak her in a warm epsom salts bath that may help her pass it. While she is in the bath, insert a finger inside the vent, feel for an egg.
IF she is lethargic, the stress of a soak may put her over the edge - a steamed up bathroom or placing her on a towel covered heating pad would be better.

She needs to be drinking - encourage her to drink.

I agree with @Wyorp Rock—only soak her if she is strong enough to stand it. Many people bathe weak chickens, and they can die from the stress. Other chickens love a warm soak. If she is weak, and you feel an egg, try her on a heating pad on a moist warm towel turned to LOW.

Thank you everybody for your help, when I got home today she had laid an egg in the living room and pooped all over the place, I found her in the kitchen lol. She is doing much better, is eating, drinking, and pooping normally. I am probably going to keep her in the bin for another day or two to make sure she is ok.

That's great!
Sorry to hear she pooped all over the place, but it sounds like she needed to

Did you pick up vitamins/electrolytes? I would give those for the day. See that she is eating/drinking o.k.
She may need a washing up if she had some oozing, so a nice little soak and blow dry make perk her up even more.

I'm glad that she is doing better, keep us posted.

Great news, and good that she is feeling better.

Hi everyone again, she was feeling a lot better. Never got around to picking the vitamins and stuff up because she was feeling much better. Unfortunately I believe she has abound egg again, she was at the bottom of the coop not getting up. I put on a glove and felt in her vet, I felt something hard but I don't know if it is an egg or not, not sure what I'm feeling for. I gave her another tums this time in little chunks by the mouth. I separated her again, brought her inside and she is eating some chick starter. I gave her some more dewormer just in case but I don't know what is wrong with her. She is supposed to go to show in a week and is supposed to be gone for 2 weeks so I really don't want her to be egg bound at the fair. Please let me know what I should do.

If you can feel something hard, then you might as well soak her in a shallow pan of warm water, or place her on a warm towel on top of a heat pad set to Low. Give her some calcium daily for the next several days. 1/2 of a human calcium with vitamin D 3 is good. Or use the Tums and give her a little scrambled egg or yogurt. Make sure that she is drinking plenty of water. Do you have enough nest boxes where she doesn’t have to wait? Here is a good article to read about egg binding:

I already gave her the calcium, I have a nest box but nobody uses it because they just has chicks. I can add two or three more nest boxes just in case. Tomorrow if she hasn’t passed the egg I will give her a warm salt water bath and check her vent again. I’m going to stay supplementing oyster shells into their diet. And I will go buy some electrolytes tomorrow

How is she doing today?

 

[Chris Hernandez]

She hasn’t laid an egg, she was pretty chatty this morning and tried escaping the bin I have her in. She has pooped very little but has eaten and drank water.
