if you check my other threads it'll describe more of her behaviours today, but the one I'm most concerned about is that she's not drinking willingly. Like usually I can hold up the waters and my chickens will run over to it and drink, but this hen hasn't been drinking today, and I've been trying to hydrate her via a pipette. Which idk if that gives them all that much water tbh. I'll check on her tomorrow as it's late now but if she's not drinking tomorrow I'll be really worried :((
 
If she's still eating try mixing her pellets with water to make a porridge consistency, mine love that and it will get a bit of water in her. There are posts on here about tube feeding, might be worth a read.

I think she might have an impacted crop idk if feeding her is a good idea,,
