She didn't make it

I think the egg must have broken inside. Thanks for the help.

She's about 2.5 and an ex commercial. No discharge as far as I know.

Thanks

I have put this on facebook but I know some people don't use it so thought it worth posting here. One of my chickens is not looking good. She is lethargic, tail down generally not happy and very tired. her crop does not feel hard so we have bought her in and given her a bath and some sugar water. We...

Someone mentioned that they had bought a coop from a firm called feel good. Just a word of warning, they are very reluctant to sort my problem out.
