8 year old hen with sour crop? I need help treating it.

This is what she's doing in the coop.

Her crop is full of liquid still, and she is very low energy as of right now. That might change later in the day.
I am going to give her some more coconut oil hopefully she will eat it okay. Last night she didn't have any interest in the coconut oil, so I was only able to get a little bit in her beak before bed.

I feel like she is a little cold, her legs don't seem very warm. It is also 60 degrees outside right now, but last night was pretty cold.

I tried getting her to come out a bit ago and she wouldn't hop out of the nesting box.

Her comb has been looking purple? Or blue? I don't know which color is the better to describe her comb.
 
I picked her up (I put hands under her feet) and brought her outside of the coop.

Her left leg does this thing where it kind of twitches a little bit, it isn't very consistent and I am not sure if it's intentional movement or uncontrollable.
I got pictures of her vent
I don't think the spoiler is needed but I wanted to make one anyway, for some reason I find it fun it's also the first time I've made a spoiler.

The rooster just tried hopping on her I got him off before he could completely stand on her.
I got some better pictures of her face I want to know what this is if I should worried about it.

It's like a bit of skin that sticks out kind of like a feather, Im not sure if that nornal or not, quit a few of my older hens have similar things and have for a long time I just want to make sure it's nothing to be concerned about.
 
I don't think she is going to make tonight, I don't know what to do for her.
When I pick her up if I don't hold her right she will make a gasp sound, I can't hear any noise from her when she is not being held or if there is nothing causing the contents of her crop to come up.
She looks like she isn't very comfortable she is always sleeping and she barely even holds her legs and head.
Is there anything that I will be able to do for her? Should I euthanize her before she gets worse? Do you think there still could still be a chance for her?
