Our laying hen "fried" is a 1 year old welsummer. I'm not sure whats wrong with her! At first it looked like she was gasping, but she wasn't closing her beak.

Our friend suggested that it was a torn crop and to give her vinegar (a special type) and feed her bread and milk.
we've done that and she isn't gasping as much, but still, she's not herself. She loves to eat but she isn't really eating ( she'll put food in her mouth but won't swallow it, even bread.) she's often as far away as she can get from the other hens. plus it looks like it hurts for her to bend down.
any suggestions? I'm really worried about her!
