Your first priority should be to get her warm and stable.

How can I get her stable

Get her warm, then get fluids in her, but she must be warm, or all this messing with her will probably kill her.

Maybe someone else can say this in a nicer/better way, but before you can treat *anything*, crop, egg, or whatever, you *must* get her warm! Does your family have one of those ear thermometers? If so, go get it and measure her body temp under her wing and let me know what it is.

Immediately place a hot water bottle wrapped in a pillowcase beside her or heat a towel up in the dryer and place under her,actually do both.
