Was her crop empty this morning?

If the crop is not emptying, address that Symptom according to the link below.
Is she lethargic, when is the last time she laid an egg?
When was the last time she was dewormed?

Sorry for late reply. And thank you.
Yesterday and today her crops were empty!
The problem with the crop seems to have been resolved. However, she still has no appetite.

The last time she laid an egg was two days ago. She stayed inside for two hours today trying to lay eggs, but it seems she wasn't able to.

I have never dewormed her, but I do have deworming medicine on hand.

She may be having a hard time expelling an egg or something like lash material.

I'd give her Extra Calcium for a few days to see if this will help her out. 1 Tablet Calcium Citrate+D3 right into the beak once daily for 5 days.

See that she's staying hydrated and encourage her to eat.

What dewormer do you have?

The Calcium should be fine.

Just for curiosity, can you post a photo of the label on the Calcivet, I'm having a hard time finding the content analysis on that.

Is she doing any better?

I gave her a full day's supply of Calcivet today, but she did not lay any eggs. Her appetite seems to have returned to about two-thirds of what it was before. She ate leafy greens and snacks very well.
For reference, I have attached a photo of the Calcivet label. It contains 33g of calcium and 25,000 units of vitamin D3 per litre.

If you are interested, I can attach labels for other medications I have, including antibiotics, antifungals, 4in1powder, and others imported from the US.

Yes, that would be great.

How is she doing?

I'll put it together later, take pictures and post it.

Yes, she seems to have recovered completely!
Today she had a great dust bath in the "special" sand bath filled with dry grass sand, and in the evening she sneaked into the "big chicken coop", jumped on my desk and did a mess, then pretended not to notice and slept on a perch in her coop

However, I'm still worried that she hasn't laid any eggs, so I'm continuing to give her Calcivet.
