So the sour smell is coming from her vent?
Sounds like she may have vent gleet.
Since she is isolating herself, I think I would cage her in the coop or run so she is not harassed. Give her her own food/water. Check her crop again first thing in the morning to see if it's empty.
Vent Gleet can go hand in hand with crop issues as well. I linked a couple of good articles about both Vent Gleet and Crop Problems for you.

I would check the crop again, a crop can be sour even if it's emptying though - this means that it has become yeasty - that could be from the other end too (vent) so check her over really good and investigate. If the smell is coming from both ends then treat as sour crop and vent gleet.

I'm sure even in Israel you should be about to find something that contains Miconazole - that is the ingredient in women's vaginal yeast cream - you can put that on the vent and also feed it to your hen (read the links I gave you).

Hopefully ill double check and ask around but im pretty sure its not vent gleet ill verify tommorow and keep u updated it is really humid in the coop but i give it good ventilation and clean up any droppings im gonna do a coop cleaning this week since the bedding is sorta damp im just waiting till fridayitll be 80 degrees hopefully i did put long peices of dried straw from the grasses and put it in the nests i caught one chicken eating long peices lol but ill investigate more
 
Ok so i checked on her today massaged her crop and made her throw up just water came out and theres no foul smell or nothing and her crop was empty so im assuming she does not have sour crop or impacted. I checked her vent for stuck egg nothing there and her lower body is not swollen but what i did notice when she tries running away from me i hear a watery swooshy noise after she threw up of course and shez still lethargic tail up no drooping comb cherry red no nasal discharge or anything
