My jersey giant two days ago was clucking, happy and laying and just fine but since yesterday she has been tucking her neck and sticking up her tail. I rubbed her crop and it feels like her neck is curved down, or maybe she’s just sitting that way. When I rub her crop I can hear her breathing. I’m just trying to figure out my next steps. She’s 7m Old

Top photo is her regularly bottom was this morning
 
I isolated her in a coop next to the other one so they can all still see each other with some Gatorade bottles filled with ice. I gave her plain yogurt and she ate about 2tsp and perked a little. I also have water and ice cubes for her

Empty kind of squishy. I’m new at this I’m sorry
Check the crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks, it should be empty.
From her stance of the head tucked in, it looks like she may be having some crop problems.

I would provide her with her normal feed free choice, plenty of fresh water and poultry grit free choice. You may find this article helpful
