Chicken won’t eat or drink?

Yes you can crush the TUMS in some food.

But wait....you have another hen that is looking the same way? You sure they have not gotten into anything moldy, rotten or spoiled? Look at your feed, is there any mold in it?
Is the bag of feed fresh - what's the date on the bag?

How long have you had the hens?
Any changes to their environment, feed, water - anything you can think of?
I am not OP, by my hen looks much the same as theirs in stance and such.

Tail down, droopy, etc.
Feed does not look moldy, I changed them from layer to chick starter crumbles, so it is possible that some spilled and she found a damp/moldy patch. I buy from the local mill, food looked great in the bag, date was good (a week from milling) I have since placed the feed on a board so all the spillage is caught before going into the litter.
We did have a wetter than usual spring, but it has been fairly clear and dry for a rew weeks.
We had a hot day on Thursday, which was the day I noticed her acting off. Friday I worked and didn't spend much time with her. Saturday she was still acting off (fiesty in the am, but from the late morning on she is very tired looking, not interested in kitchen scraps, almost looking like she falls asleep in the run) so I put her in a crate in the garage so I can monitor her more.
She is not eating or drinking much at all. Today I gave her a warm Epsom salt bath and tried some scrambled egg and yogurt, but she only ate a few bites. After the bath, she did seem to be contracting her abdomin, but last I checked no egg laying.
I have not done a vent check, but externally I cannot feel anything in her abdomin. I massaged her crop during the bath as well and it is fairly squishy/soft, no hard spots.

What does her poop look like?
Did you feel for an egg?
Any swelling/bloat or fluid in the abdomen - when you feel between her legs - toward the vent - is that that full?

Have you ever wormed her?

She may be having some reproductive problems - if she doesn't have an egg that's she's trying to expel, she may have Internal Laying, Egg Yolk Peritonitis or similar problems.
I would try to keep her hydrated. If you have poultry vitamins give her a direct dose along with some Calcium. If she's not too lethargic, then give her another epsom salts bath and feel inside for an egg.

Her poop is almost white, with tiny green dots in it. (and her crop feels squishy, not quite empty with a small round, but not hard, still squishy mass at the base)
No bloating or swelling of the abdomin that I feel, I did not feel any fullness toward her vent. The flock had a pumpkin in January, and later I found out that can act like a natural wormer, but I have not given them any worming medication.
 
It does sound like she's got a crop issue going on, but often that is a symptom of an underlying condition like reproductive problems, worms, coccidiosis and infection.
I would start working on the crop since you feel no swelling/bloat and there seems to be no egg stuck. http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/impacted-slow-and-sour-crops-prevention-and-treatments
If you have vet care, that is a good option, but of course, they are expensive.
A fecal float would tell you if there's a worm problem.

Pumpkin makes a wonderful treat, but as for worming, it's not an effective treatment.

White is urates and the green is likely from not eating/drinking well.

Thank you! I will read up on this and see how it helps her. Thank you for your help!
