Can someone help!? my hen is very sick 🤕

Update: got some lice/mites spray, sprayed her with it hosed out the chicken shed and now waiting for the fresh hay to come. added some battles poultry drink to their water my hen cluck the sick one has ate and had a drink so fingers crossed she’ll get better:hmm P.S. I read that wood ash helps, I rubbed some of that on her before I got the spray.
 
Well! One thing is done! :hugs
It's important to understand if it was only a mites outbreak or if there is something more that debilitated her making her more susceptible...Here poops are clear? Yellowish? White?
Yea I know but I think it was just a lice outbreak but I’m going to keep watch on her and will update on this chat if anything changes also her poops are green and watery
 
My hen has been very sick for awhile I’m not sure what’s wrong with her I wormed all my chickens and that seemed to have helped a bit but today when I went to let them out she didn’t come out I had to take her out myself and she hasn’t got very good balance today she easily falls over but is still eating and drinking.
(her symptoms)
*Weight loss
*Lethargic

*Green diarrhoea
*Keeps her head in and closes her eyes
*Stopped laying
*Her comb flopped over
*bc Hasn’t got great balance
Can anyone help me because I’m scared she might be dying and there’s nothing I can do :(
I'm sorry about your hen.

She does not look well at all.

With her being an Ex-Batt and has not been laying for a good while, I would first suspect that she has a reproductive disorder just by the way she is standing.
When a hen has one condition and not doing well - this allows other conditions to arise.

Her crop is squishy - so I would say her crop is not working well due to reproductive problems (inflammation).

I would work on getting her hydrated. Treat the crop https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Get rid of the lice - use a Permethrin based poultry spray or dust and see how she does.

Sadly, you posted about her almost a month ago and her stance/how she looks has not changed a great deal.
Sometimes all you can do is offer supportive care and once they continue to decline, put them out of their misery.
