First time dealing with sick chicken! Help please!

I understand that but One hen may not tolerate the heat as well as another.
A couple of years ago I almost lost one to heat. I brought her in for the day. Put her back out that night. I keep a close eye on her. So far, so good. She hasn't had any other problems.
The electrolytes I suggested have probiotics in them to help prevent Sour crop. You may still need to treat for Sour crop.
Definitely still treating for sour crop, been doing everything I've read on other threads about sour crop with her for 5 hours now. And I'll be keeping her in quarantine in the A/C giving electrolytes/probiotics as well. Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it.

If it is sour crop, there is no need to separate, it will do no harm to the other’s

Please keep us updated!
 
Oh, yes! I know. I just am not 100% sure if it is or not so I want to be safe, and also keeping her alone will help me monitor her poops & other behaviors plus keeping her comfortable & cool.
Good choice, but also keep in mind the introduction, if she leaves the flock, she will have to fight for her place in the pecking order.

A lot of the threads I've read have said to treat her for 7 days on only scrambled eggs & yogurt.. I wouldn't be able to do that if she was in with the flock. There's a lot of contradictory things & it's just confusing me honestly. Lol
And she is lowest in the pecking order as it is 🤦‍♀️

I'm sure that @Eggcessive could be more help.
