Lethargic chicken not eating or moving

That's a lot of urates.

Is her crop emptying?
I THINK so. I went out to check in her this morning before dawn and it feels like there was a teeny tiny bit of fluid still in there, not much. I attempted to have her vomit it out, but nothing came out, so I began to think that it was indeed empty and had maybe been stretched out a little over time from me not knowing how to check it. I can look again tomorrow morning and let you know. I guess I better research urates. I am guessing that's the white part. Oh dear, I hope she's okay! Thank you so much!!!
 
Thanks so much for your help! I checked on Dolly first thing this morning, and her crop was completely empty! I'm so happy! There was no loose stools just all normal looking poop in The Henhouse. She was the last to come down, but she came down on her own and went straight for the food. I gave her a little bowl with water down food instead . I was able to get a picture of her poop and it does possibly look like it has extra urates in it. But it is looking way closer to normal! What are your thoughts on it?

Dolly is the larger black one. These are some pictures of her this morning. She looks like she's feeling much better. She is foraging around and her tail is up. Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate everybody so much. I asked my neighbor if she happens to see her poop if she would send me a picture to upload. Ah, the joys of chickens.
 
I've been meaning to update everyone and to thank you all so much for all your expert advice and help! Dolly is doing wonderfully and is completely back to her normal self. Thank you so much for everything!!!
