I have another thread (linked) but her symptoms have changed after the treatment was finished.

I was on vacation for 9 days and came back to a stressed flock with some questionable poo and a few sneezing. I treated sneezing with Tylosin over the winter, possible IB, so the stress could have brought the sneezing for some.
Pink's left eye was 1/2 closed and she had sneezing fits. She was the only one with these particular symptoms. No nasal discharge.
I started a Tylosin treatment for the flock right away.
Their fecal test showed roundworm eggs, though no roundworms found in poo, the coop/run or fenced area that I could find. I started the 5 day treatment of safeguard in mash.
Finished both treatments on Wednesday. I found 1 small adult roundworm during their worming. I'm not sure who from. And the flock as a whole are doing well. A sneeze here and there but nothing too concerning at this point.
Pink has gotten worse. She just looks "tired". Since bringing her inside she is not eating though she is drinking her water quite well. She will have some sneezing fits but not often. Both her eyes close now, but I think she looks more tired than sick. Her comb, face and wattles are slowly getting more pale. She is content to just lay by me while I'm sitting with her.
In the last 2 weeks she has had a tylosin treatment, deworming treatment and yesterday I gave her a calcium tablet just in case, though she did lay 2 days earlier. She has gained some weight over the last two weeks. I do not feel anything in her abdomen like an egg or fluid.
She has now stopped eating. She was definitely eating during the treatments. I was outside with them every morning be certain everyone was eating their mash. I was outside multiple times following and checking on them and watching their poo for worms.
On Thursday evening I noticed her just hanging around with me while I was weeding. That is weird. I allowed them into the fenced area, where I'm trying to grow grass, and the flock was in heaven. I brought her inside that night. Her crop was not as full as it should be. She has now mostly stopped eating, mash and egg have been offered, but surprisingly still drinking her water well. Her poo is clear liquid with dark green pellet like droppings. She is laying here with me. Occasional stretch, preen walk around and then lays back down.
I've attached 2 videos. First has her looking "tired" to me. This is her normal state at this point. At the end you will hear a sneeze and I got a shot of her poop.
The second video is her sneezing.
I am worried, she is my son's favorite and the sweetest of all the hens. I'm not sure I can fix this but I'm hoping someone has seen this before and knows what's wrong.
