Well if the eggs breaks it can cause a bad infection. From what I read anyways. Lack of pooping is most likely do to not eating. I would let her be and hope she can overcome what's wrong. Or take her to a vet. I know myself I can't afford a vet. I have to put down 2 chicken with a CO2 chamber.
I don't see any berries or plants matter so it makes me think its a pure meet eater. But your best efforts would be to figure out how it got in and how keep it out.
I never had an chicken get egg bound and I been breeding silkies for 6 years but I found this. Hope it helps.
When your hen is egg bound, your hen may appear weak, show no interest in moving or eating, have a “panting” respiratory rate, and may have some abdominal straining. One or both legs...
If you just treated for coccidiosis maybe she was not fully cured for some reason. If you still have corid on hand I would dose her it won't hurt. I had a friend that had some chicken that just had white/yellow diarrhea with no blood. She had U.S.D.A. come out to test her chicken thinking it was...

My frist thought would be coccidiosis but i never heard of a older chickens getting it. It could be something as simple as stress. It's just could be so many thing if she is drinking try adding some electrolyte and vitamins supplement like save a chick.
I looked on the kalmbach website and found and found 1 store local selling it for $18. I been ordering it from chewy.com. I started ordering it online because my local feed store feed quality was limited and low quality the chick starter was like dust.
I pay $35 dollars for 50 lbs. I buy healthy feed because I breed silkie so I want healthy hens to make healthy chicks and kalmbach stater feed is not dust like some I have gotten from other brands. It allso has prebiotics, probiotics, essential oils and digestive enzymes.
I'm at a cross road I'm either going to have to raise the pice on my bearded silkies or start buying cheaper food I sell them for $5 but i see plenty of people selling for $10 my silkies are good Quality. I feed all my chickens Kalmbach feed.
