No idea on age she came with the house when we bought it

The picture shows crust above and to the side of her vent
Is it stuck on poop/urates?

I think I'd try washing in a dandruff shampoo and see if that helps remove the crusts. Hard to tell if there may be a wound under there or not.

Is there a bad odor at all? What's her overall behavior - does she seem sick or lethargic?
 
A lot came off in a bath but still a lot on there.

Atm she is a bit wobbly on her legs and stands with no neck / tail down sometimes
 
Photos of the whole hen and her poop?
Does she lay eggs?
How old is she?

Work on hydration, check to make sure her crop is emptying. You can add electrolytes or vitamins to her water to see if that helps.
