1 y/o hen sleeping standing up

How many chickens do you have? I would at least let her free range with the other chickens for an hour or two before they go to roost, so they don't forget her. If they are out of the flock too long, they may get attacked when returning. When she gets on the roost, put her in her cage with food and Corid water. Her poops look to have a bit of mucus in them, probably from her intestinal illness, the worm and cocci treatment, etc. Can you give her a tsp of plain probiotic yogurt mixed into a little food and water daily?
Her crop in her pictures looks a bit full, so can you check it in early morning before she has eaten to see if it has emptied, and is not puffy or firm? I would probably stop the baths since you cannot feel an egg.

Thank you @Eggcessive

I have 4 hens & 1 rooster, they are on Purina All-Flock feed. Ginger is one of my three originals that I got last year. I was worried about the confinement as I know they can get lonely, and the pecking order can change quickly. I have them all together outside now, and she is happily foraging and dusting with everyone.

Her crop 2 days ago was quite puffy, but I felt her crop last night and it was smaller than a golf ball and firm, and then totally empty this morning. I did not give her another bath as I did not feel it was necessary (no egg bulge, no egg felt inside, vent dry/tight).

I tried to find plain probiotic yogurt when I rushed out yesterday, but our rural-ish grocery store has a small (albeit growing) selection of items like that. I will go elsewhere later today to find some. I got her butternut squash baby food and plain Oikos greek yogurt (the closest thing I could find).

Currently my hens stay in a small hen house (TSC purchased) until I can move them into their new home - an 8x8 shed. The only place to keep her crated with the flock would be in the run, otherwise back to our basement she goes tonight.

It's supposed to cool off and be more fall-like later this week, so hopefully that also helps.

Thank you so much again for responding

@Eggcessive I have probiotic packets I forgot about - could I use those instead? And were you suggesting that I crate her tonight when she goes to roost, to separate her from the flock again? We have about 45 minutes of daylight left. I had restarted her on Corid water while I had her isolated, should I continue if I keep her crated at night? If I keep her with the flock, should I restart the rest of the flock on Corid? Sorry for so many questions!

She was very active when I had them all out today, they were out for 3 hours, no squabbles and she seems to be fine now... Although I know chickens tend to appear "fine" even when they are not...

The Oikos plain yogurt would be fine to use in her feed, since it has live cultures, and when she is off Corid water, you can use the probiotics packets or continue with yogurt about a tsp per chicken. I was recommending the crate for separation for Corid. If you don't continue with the Corid, you could just let her loose.

Hmm well my whole flock was just on Corid, would it be bad to restart them all on Corid if I keep her with them? Aside from any Corid water she may have had this morning in her crate, she has had plain water since noon today.

It won't hurt them to all do Corid again, but if you do it, just do 5 days and stop. Or get her droppings checked again to see if she still has a lot of coccidia in them. She should be recovering by now.

Thank you so so so so much! I was so worried and scared for her. I will try to get fresh droppings tomorrow to take to the vet again. I will check on her in a little bit to see if she's gone to sleep with the rest.
