1 1/2 yr. Bearded Welsummer has drooped her butt and tail feathers...

After molting then laying a few eggs, she had drooped her butt end and hasn't laid in a week. I have observed her eating and drinking, and acting normal.
So is this Normal???

Yesterday I gave her an Epsom salts bath, but over did the vaseline ( was chicken to stick my finger in) . Today she got the Royal treatment - warm bath, soaping butt, blow dried (on low), and proper finger stick - no egg in there!
Few weeks before we were dealing with mites... cleaned, sprayed, and DE sprinkled everywhere. Gone are the mites.
So i was thinking what else could it be, and again Is It Normal?

Any Comments greatly appreciated, thanks

She seems to be fine other than that Down tail.

My bad I thought you meant she had dropped (as in lost) her tail feathers. I’m not sure what is causing this.

@Eggcessive, is a drooping tail a sign of water belly?

It can be a sign of reproductive disorders or just feeling really bad.
