Her crop looks very large, so I would feel of it to see if it is large and boggy. Reproductive disorders are so common in hens. Her wings are drooping, so she is very ill. Try to get some electrolyte into her by holding a little scoop up to her beak while she sits. Could she have overeaten the raw grits? I don’t think that should have hurt her, but it may just be a coincidence. Egg yolk peritonitis and ascites (water belly) are very common. If she has not been laying eggs that might be a problem.
