I looked at the pictures. That is obviously an older hen, not a yearling. You can tell by the larger scales on her legs. I can't see much in the pictures, but my guess is that she is probably wormy which means your other chicken you got, plus the ones you put them with are probably wormy as well. Of course she was wet but she looked a little bare around the vent. I would get some Permethrin II and make a dip for the chickens. Spray them under the wings and at the vent. Then repeat it in 10 days. I couldn't see any evidence of leg mites in your picture. You can also use Sevin powder but it's a dust and can cause some breathing issues if it gets air born. At any rate be sure to repeat the application in 10 days.
I'm concerned that you said she is squishy as well. Do you mean on either side of her keel bone or do you mean her crop?

Oh by the way that is also NOT an araucana. Araucanas don't have muffs, they have tufts and they have no tail.

Ok. It's in her chest area... I think it's her crop? It's squishy and it's a circle shape...

I would give her a few drops of vegetable oil and massage "the squishy round part with your fingers for several minutes. You can use a dropper or something to get the oil down her. That could be the problem if it doesn't go down in size.
I had another busy day but went out and took a couple pictures of the pups. There are 8 of them but one is kind of underneath the others. @Frizzled Pink I am sure you've been wanting to see this.

We had three girls and 5 boys. Not a huge litter but that's okay. Girls are sold and maybe two boys.

Well that's less puppies to have to feed until they leave, that's a plus.
