New chicken lady needs help!

[buttercreamgal]

Good afternoon all! I'm new to this chicken "stuff" and someone directed me here. This site is pretty amazing! Today I went out to see my chickens and one of my ladies is all puffed up and not moving very fast. She's got a chalky yellow discharge from her vent - not a lot but something I haven't seen before. All my girls were hatched this spring so they're fairly young. Any one have ideas on what I need to do? Thanks in advance!

Sometimes yellow poop 'can' mean worms. Have your chickens been wormed? Also, does her crop feel normal size in the morning before she eats?

Here is a poop chart in case you ever need it as a reference. (warning graphic)
