It would be a good idea to continue with your existing thread instead of starting a new one. Here is the one about the LICE.tiny bit watery but the grain is wheat, barley, triticale, peas, lupins, sunflower, sorghum, corn, canola, shell grit, limestone, dicalcium phosphate, vegetable oil.
what can i do rn to help her recover
what should i feed her for breakfast and could the crop issue have been caused by lice weekening her?It would be a good idea to continue with your existing thread instead of starting a new one. Here is the one about the LICE.
What is in the photo on her eye is a louse. Permethrin will take care of the issue.

For the crop problem, follow the instructions in the thread below for treatment.
Very often a crop problem is a symptom of an underlying condition - disease, worms, coccidiosis, reproduction disorders and infection are common causes for a crop to slow and become impacted.
A crop problem is usually not resolved in a day or two, it can take weeks sometimes to get fully functional again, depending on the cause.
With the eye closing, your hen may be have something else going on, I would investigate that further to see if she just has something in the eye (flush it out and see if it improves) or if the eye closing is due to neurological symptoms.

What are you calling "shell grit" - oyster shell? That's great for adding supplemental calcium but it's not hard enough to act a grit in the gizzard.Shes eaten some boiled egg shellgrit done a few good poos and is drinking i think she is getting better the lice really were bothering her

She can have her normal pellet or crumble poultry feed (wet or dry) and easy to process food like the egg you gave. I would avoid whole grain, seeds, etc. until the crop issue is resolved.
Lice generally is not something that would cause the crop symptoms, but I suppose if the infestation is severe and her system is that compromised, they lice could be part of the problem.
