Can you try raw egg yolk?

Is she the only Australorp?

Can you give her a calcium citrate tablet?

She will not take food or drink now. : (

She is not lifting her head or opening her beak to take in food. She just sleeps.

Can you take a towel, get it wet with cool water, wring out excess moisture and then put her on top of it. Replace every ten minutes or so, like a cool compress. Need to bring her core temp down. You could also put a couple of cool water bottles underneath her.

Sounds like she may be egg bound. Does she seem to be straining?

She's not laying yet. I did mention that a calcium citrate is a good idea earlier in this string.

My pretty hen passed today. I cuddle her and tried to comfort her in her ultimate journey home. Thank you all on this sight for the assistance and feedback through this new chicken mama's experience.
