What's wrong with Wasabi?

They can't see her until Monday, but wanted me to watch for labor breathing and, or tail dropping. I am hoping Wasabi is going to make it.
 
I'd isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so you can closely monitor their intake of food and water, crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed), and their poops. Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling.

Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.
 
In that pic, Wasabi was sitting.

Yes, I realize in the first photo she is sitting - in this photo on your other thread she is standing?
What I am trying to get you to do is feel her crop. Wasabi is not well at all. That hunched up appearance tell us something -as did that sitting photo.

Was the crop completely empty this morning before she had anything to eat/drink?
Can you feel inside the vent about 1-2inches to see if there is an egg in there?
Do you have a parent, neighbor or someone else that can help you with her?
It would be good to know what that crop feels like and some photos of her poop.

Yesterday evening, she drank a lots of water then threw up a couple pieces of grass. Her crop was still small, a little bit squishy last night. I was away so I couldn't check her crop this morning.:( This is a pic of her poop today. 20190420_102715.jpg
 
Her crop is small and soft , same with her abdomen . Her vent is small, no swelling ,either. One of her eyes is closed . When I was checking her vent, she was shaking like a leaf while making those uncomfortable sounds.

How long has her poop looked like this? It looks a bloody to me.
If you have vet care that would be best. If I saw poop like that I would at least start treatment with Corid right away today, you find it at Tractor Supply in the Cattle section.

She is not well. For water and bits of grass to come back up and drinking lots of water, her crop is not emptying. This means she might have a blockage somewhere or there is an underlying condition that is causing the crop not to empty. It could be Coccidiosis since the stool is not normal, she may also have infection or worms, it's very hard to know.
Get the Corid and start her on that ASAP. Massage her crop to see if you feel any type of lump or feed in there that needs to be broken down. Get a parent, neighbor or friend to help you with her if you need to.

Dosage for Corid is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water.
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

This is the 1st time I saw her poop like this. If she has something else...would giving her Corid for 5-7 days could harm her ? I am grateful for your help and would not doubt your your experiences, I just have a lots of questions! I thank you for your understanding :)
