Flat crop tonight and sluggish Silver Laced Polish

I checked her crop and it was flat thus morning. I placed Purina start n grow medicated in the coop. She rushed to eat it. She ate a lil and stopped. I made eggs with the shell and put it in the coop , she ate that too. Her weight vs her Bff is a tad lighter. Her spirits are high this morning. As her Bff.
I checked her eye and do not see any unusual puffiness which is a good thing. I trimmed her feathers this morning because I also fear she can not see where the feed is!
OMG! She ran around her coop and hopped up on the roost then down and ran around flapping outside. "I can see"!
Her poop was firm but part was jellied. I cooked carrot soup to make pureed carrot soup as suggested by @LaFleche via pm.
I did go away for a few days and failed to check the outside feed throughly. It did have fresh feed on the surface from neighbor feeding them but, the underneath was wet and stinky! Of course, I removed that. We have had tons of rain.
Attached are pictures of her face/ eye with her feathers trimmed back hard and her poop. I dont see anything moving in her poop.
I can deworm her if you think that would help.
Poop is Before the carrot soup.

Poop looks normal.
Hope she starts feeling better soon!
Thank you. She seems happy and running around outside between the heavy rain periods.
I'm wondering if part of her issue was she couldn't see. But, I'll continue to monitor her.
I'm sure the yuckie feed didn't help any. Thanks for all the expertise.

It seems that you found the source of her being unwell and stinky.

In any case you could check her ears too, as heavily crested breeds offen suffer from ear infections which can have quite a smell.
 
Great idea! Will do.
Thank you!
I checked her ears and all seem clean without odor. I washed her face after learning of her feed. No more smell. Her crop is full tonight and the carrot puree was gone.
She was on her roost in her usual spot.
Yay!!
THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!!!!!
