What you are describing sounds exactly like my hen, here is my thread for her:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-neck-swollen-eye-green-poo-crop-not-emptying
She ended up having a double whammy - inner ear infection and sour crop. The inner ear infection is what caused her to lose her balance so badly and she flopped around pathetically. A round of anti-biotics and she was great again, laying like a champ and 100% recovered.
This could also be wry neck (and I was convinced I was dealing with wry neck before I took her too the vet) so vitamins cannot hurt.
