It's best to provide fresh water and feed free choice to your flock during waking hours.
Grit (Crushed Granite) and Oyster Shell can also be placed in the coop/run in separate containers for the chickens to take pieces as needed.

For the Buff, I'd make sure she's drinking, provide some wet soupy feed. Re-check the crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink all night. If it's still full, then address that symptom according to this article https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Have you added any new birds recently?
When you checked her crop, did you press it hard and push the contents up into her airway? This can cause some sneezing.

Does she lay eggs? When was the last egg?

I have added 6

I don't think so my vet told me to message it lightly so I did but not super hard!

She laid an egg today

The new birds are they chicks from a hatchery or where did they come from?
Were they quarantined for observation of illness?

I'd address the crop symptom if it didn't empty overnight. Hopefully the sneezing is because she's got a full crop or some dust in her nostrils instead of respiratory illness.

I raised them from chicks they have been at my farm since they were a week old

So her crop is now fine , the food moved through it but it sounds like she has liquid in her breathing I'm really worried about that, she's an amazing hen I wouldn't want to lose her , I just don't know what to do if she has water in her lungs

Can you get a video of her so we can hear what she sounds like?

When was her last egg, do you notice any bloat or feeling of fluid in the abdomen?

It's good that the crop is better - it's emptying completely correct?
Not sure why you'd think she has water in the lungs, did you syringe or tube fluids into her?

In the morning going out to dinner with family for a b day

When was her last egg, do you notice any bloat or feeling of fluid in the abdomen?

Her last egg was two days ago I think
Not bloating and I don't feel any fluids

Yes

Not sure why you'd think she has water in the lungs, did you syringe or tube fluids into her?

No , I think the food stuck in her crop re-directed the water she drank into her lungs
