Hen not acting well hasn't eaten or drank for at least 1 day.

Hello!
My 4-year-old easter egger has been acting unhealthy for the past 2 weeks. In the beginning she was just not pooping but was acting normal then within the last week she has become lethargic and weak. I've given her multiple Epsom salt baths to clean up her butt and help her with constipation. She is not laying eggs but hasn't been for a few months anyway. I've been treating her with natural dewormer, and yesterday, I started giving her poultry dewormer 5x fenbendazole. I know the dosage for those capsules is very low, so if she eats her food with the powder on top, I will up the dosage. However, she is not eating or drinking. She was separated from the flock for about 5 days two weeks ago, and then I put her back because she seemed to be doing better. Yesterday, I separated her again because she became lethargic. Now, she's not even interested in any treats or the capsules, and I haven't seen her drink any water or electrolytes. She had a couple poops yesterday that looked somewhat normal, but she hasn't pooped at all today. Meanwhile, the rest of my flock has been dealing with scaly mite infestation on their legs. I've been able to clear up the majority of that problem, but maybe the problems are related. She doesn't appear to have any mites under her leg scales, but I will continue to keep an eye out for that too.
Thank you! I will post pictures of her too

Here is a picture of her from today

The yellow dropping near her foot could be a sign of a reproductive infection or water belly. Are the urates (the normally white part of the dropping) yellow or is the whole dropping yellow or have bile in it? Her lowered tail also could be a symptom. If she could be egg bound possibly, you could try giving her a human calcium citrate with vitamin d tablet or a tums to help pass an egg or lash egg. Is her crop empty or full, hard or puffy?

Ok, thank you! That yellow thing is just a piece of scrambled egg that I dropped lol! If she is egg-bound, wouldn't she have passed away by now, since it's been at least 2 months?
Her crop feels soft and squishy.

Recheck her crop first thing in the morning when it should be empty. If not, then I would read this article about treating crop problems:

Thank you for all your help! She ended up passing away this morning, and I fully suspect sour crop.

I am sorry for your loss. I never saw many crop issues until my hens were older and having reproductive problems. Unfortunately most of those hens died in a month or two after those symptoms.
