Weird posture

[Sarajobe]

Any ideas why our pullet would be standing like this? She's 5 months and we thought she may have laid her first egg yesterday, but we're not sure. I don't feel an egg, her crop seems normal and her belly isn't swollen. She's kind of crouching as she walks, but doesn't really want to walk much anyways.

Since her tail position is down and abnormal, I would give her 300 mg of human calcium citrate with vitamin d now in case she is having trouble passing an egg. Offer some fluids orally as well.

I have both of these, can I use one of them instead?

I would use the calcium carbonate similar to Tums, around 300 mg but I would give it all at once in a bit of egg or food.

We gave her some calcium last night, but today he crop is just squishy. She hasn't eaten since last night, just laid down all night.

Her poop this morning. She ate a bit of yogurt when offered, but she just wants to lay down. I don't believe she has actually started laying yet, as appenzellers are late layers and she isn't as developed as some of the others.
