older hen seems bloated

I wanted some help with an older hen. She may be 5 years old. I have had her for a week or so. She came with a few others. She started looking sick, off her food when the others were eating. I brought her inside two days ago. She only ate some egg and now nothing. She seems fine except she is thin and her bum seems bloated and she is able to poop but not much. It was sort of watery.
When she came she was very friendly and followed me around. It seems a shame to see her so quiet. She just sits in the cage and sleeps.
Does anyone know what might be wrong with her?
I gave her a warm bath thinking that she may be egg bound. she didn't seem to mind but nothing changed.
