What is going on?! Eggbound or something else?

Are you giving her a calcium tablet today? Is she eating mostly layer feed and taking crushed oyster shell at her will? Sorry that she is having problems. Can you try to get Fish Mox amoxicillin at a feed store or online? Dosage is 125-250 mg twice a day given by mouth for 7-10 days. That is the antibiotic that @Wyorp Rock mentioned.
 
She has oyster shell readily aviator all times but doesn’t have any interest at all in it.

I will have to look into getting the calcium and fish mox. She gets primarily layer crumbles and mash I make with the pellets they refuse to eat. All the other birds are fine and pretty good layers. Th we y seem to get plenty of calcium as all their eggs hAve a really hard shell. She also has a poopy butt all the time and I’ve checked her vent and it doesn’t seem runny, I’ve kept an eye on her poop and no sign of blood, worms, shedding or anything just stinky. She also may be molting as her feathers around her butt are really sparse??

She is bullied really bad and I have tried everything but these dang birds just won’t accept her and her previous flock mate.

Flies this time of year can lay maggot eggs around the vent, so be sure to keep her cleaned, so that the droppings are not a problem. It is unfortunate the others are picking on her. They might be pecking her feathers out. A little plain greek yogurt for some probiotics may also add a little calcium.
