In the next morning I found my hen like this, I don’t know if she was bullied while sleeping or feel overwhelmed. I inspect her body but there’s nothing, only had little food left in her crop but I don’t think it’s sour crop.

Update:She died hour later, it is possible she ate apple seed as my backyard is littered with apples due to squirrels eating and dropping them. I will throw away all of them and do better. thank you for responding and trying to help out stay safe and have a nice day.❤️❤️

Hello and welcome! Chickens don't have emotional problems like we humans do, so she is definitely not just feeling overwhelmed. How old is she, and do you know when she's last laid an egg? I would separate her and tempt her with her favorite treats to see how she is eating. Electrolyte water (if you need a recipe, ill hand one over) would help matter also.

Point taken. When mine get stressed, they stand in a corner floofed up with their tails down and eyes barely open. Probably others do it differently? Even so, electrolytes and treats should help - it does mine, anyway.
I have been giving her and others boosters however I believe she ate something that she shouldn’t eat
