Can you get a baseline weight on her using a food or postal scale, then start to weigh her daily?

I could try that, what would be the point of that?

If you weigh her today and she's 2.3 kg (~5 pounds), then weigh her again tomorrow and she's heavier or lighter you will have a better indication of whether she is getting better or worse.

and if she's eating enough ... Don't recall, have you checked her crop?

She has been eating, I just checked her crop and it’s about half full.

So I stopped treating with corid today because she isn’t doing any better. I took in a few samples of dropping for a fecal float test this morning and will get the results back tomorrow. Hopefully that will shed some light on what’s going on with her.

Does anyone know if I can put electrolytes/ vitamin powder in their water along with the corid?

Can I ask how much chorus you have your chicken? Mine is exhibiting the same issues.
