Flopped Comb

How is she today?
Photos of the pullet and her poop would be good.

You mention there's a weird smell - make sure her crop is emptying overnight and take a look inside her beak.
If the smell is coming from the vent, then look her over - see if she's soiled, has a discharge, a wound, etc.
Inspect your pullet.

How long have you had her?
I always inspect them and no puffy abdomen, discharges from any orifice, and I have had her since October 24.2020. Her poos were urates as I watcher her, and the ones in the crate had green mixed in, but I did give them Kale a few days ago.
 
ok, along with some replies above, here are pictures of her comb. Do I have to be concerned about the black dots on it? Pox? and I separated her and have her in the pump shed in a dog travel crate. The door to the shed is open for ventilation. She's next to the cricket farm I started for them....hahaha! By the way, I would be lost if it were not for this great group of people helping me in my Chirping mode! Thought keeping chickens was just a no brainer, hahaha!

Comb looks OK.
Black marks could be peck marks or dry pox or dirt.

Best to keep crate in the coop to avoid reintegration issues.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

If her crop is not emptying overnight, then use this article to help you determine what treatment you need to start. Let us know in the morning what it feels like and try to get some photos of her overnight poop too.

I did not offer food after 3pm (she ate a cricket) and this morning there was something in her crop, it was not hard, not squishy, but something in there. This morning her poo was small, some white and dark green. Due to my schedule, could not get pix, sorry. I did give her nutri-drench via syringe. She feels so light and just sits at the back of the crate. Offered food, some layer crumbles, some dry oatmeal, and a little of the usual fermented food she is used to. She never smelled like sauerkraut. Her comb and waddles are still nice and red.
