Is my leghorn ok

Yes, I understand her behavior is concerning to you.
From your info and the photos of her, I would be concerned as well.

She's not been eating chick starter, she's been eating uncooked brown rice with veggies/fruit from Your Mom's garden - these fruits and veggies can color the poop - that's why I'm asking if it's bloody or from food.

You suspect her crop is an issue - it's larger than the others - a crop issue can definitely cause lethargy. This is why I have suggested you give her only water for today. See if the crop is empty in the morning before she's had anything to eat or drink and get some photos of the overnight poop.
It's 9:19 pm where you are now (Oregan right?) She should have gone to bed/asleep probably an hour ago. It's midnight here.

In the morning, if the crop is not empty/flat, then I would read that article I linked on the first page and begin treatment. She may have more going on. It's very possible that she may have Coccidiosis in addition to the crop issue - sometimes more than one thing can be causing a chick to not feel well.
I see, i'll wait till the morning to update you, should i keep her waterer in there or not. Btw, im in central valley cali

No, I would not leave water or food in there. She's in the dark sleeping right?
If she's sleeping, she doesn't need those.

The crop needs to be checked first thing before she's had anything to eat or drink.

Her crop still has some liquid like a water ballon in it, compared to her sister of the same age its quite full
 
Did you get some photos of her droppings from overnight?

If it's like a water balloon, then I would start treating like a Sour Crop.

Also, since she's pretty young maybe a month and a week or two old, how much miconazole/nystatin should I give her
Follow the dosing in the article.

I think I would treat her for Coccidiosis and Sour Crop.
You can find Corid in the cattle section of Tractor Supply.
Dose is 2 tsp of liquid Corid or 1.5 tsp powdered Corid per 1 gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days. The mixed water should be the only water she drinks during that time.

Should I let her be with the rest of my flock and treat them all for cocci or should I keep her inside with me. Also, in the event that she doesn't have cocci would it still be safe to give her medicated water? And one last thing, Is it ok to give the recommended qt inch suppository/half inch amount of cream for her even though she's young and isn't that big right?
 
a month or so ago I bought some leg horns from tractor supply, all of them when I got them were healthy. They ran around, ate, fought over treats, the whole baby chick ordeal (although admittedly they were a bit afraid of me and my family). However, this particular one has just been standing and not moving at all unless she's getting chased by a person. She won't eat or run for treats which is worrying meView attachment 2302872View attachment 2302873
I suspect it may have something to do with her crop as it's a bit bigger than the other leg horns (btw I'm not completely sure if it's a she or not and would like your guys opinions as well) also she's been like this since this morning.
reading your posts sour crop seems most likely. Make sure your giving them grit to grind up the stuff that isn’t their crumble. Young chicks are very sensitive to foods that are hard to digest so they really need that grit to grind it up and digest it
