I am lost at this point!!

Drinking a little is good! Once she's hydrated I would offer her a little wet feed.
I would still give her some extra calcium for a couple of days.

I am wondering it's possible that she has an impacted crop? Now that I have given myself a full anatomy lesson, I was feeling the wrong side. Her crop does feel pretty spongy and full. How would one de-impact the crop?
 
If her crop feels puffy, it is either slow or possibly becoming sour. Impacted crop feels hard or doughy. Sour crop usually has a bad or sour odor. A slow crop may be an indication of a slow down in the digestive process, sometimes from pressure on organs due to internal laying, fluid, or infection. It is very common with reproductive disorders.

Should I massage it for a little bit? I did make a bit of mash with calcium in it, she picked at that a little. Still the watery poo. Should I soak her for a little bit?
 
No, a puffy crop should not be massaged. That could lead to her crop contents coming up into her throat and choking. I would not soak her, but try the warm wet towel on the heating pad turned to LOW, or place her in a warm moist environment, such as a bathroom with some warm steam. If you cannot feel an egg inside her vent, and she is pooping, it is probably not egg binding. You can give a little cottage cheese. to see if her droppings firm up.
 
Good morning everyone! This morning I found my girl alert, tail up a lot more, almost all of her water gone (although a little was on the ground) and she was scratching in the shavings. She gave me a couple of little clucks this morning. Still not touching meal worms though. She even jumped out of he kennel when I turned my back for a quick second. Looking around a lot and very curious. I will continue the warmth and calcium and check up periodically. In a little bit I am gonna make her some eggs to see if she will eat them today. I also put a small humidifier in the laundry room with her.

Thank you again for helping me out! I will keep posting daily with her updates! :hugs

How was her crop this morning?
When you posted, it was night after she had been drinking/eating a bit?
Sometimes a crop will feel a bit spongy and full if the bird had been eating/drinking. A better way to gauge function is to check after they have not eaten/drank -say for the night and see if the crop is the same or if it's emptied.

I'm glad that you found her perkier this morning! Thank you for the update, keep us posted.

It wasn't as full and spongey as it was last night. She is back to sleeping in her corner, so hopefully when I make some mash for her tonight she will munch on that like last night!
 
I would re-check the crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks to see if it's emptying or has gone down.
Sometimes with reproductive problems the inflammation can cause a slowing of the digestive system.
I hope you find her bright and perky in the morning :hugs

I am leaning more towards respiratory right now as the sneezing has been kicking back up and she has a small amount of nasal discharge. When I was up close and personal checking her eyes that have been irritated today I heard a tiny bit of wheezing.
