Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

[Belovedturkey]

When I went to feed and water my flock this morning I noticed that my hen Sofia was still on the roosts, she also wasn’t standing on it she was laying down so I picked her up and put her on the ground where she immediately just lay down again. I put some food infront of her and she wouldn’t eat. I checked her crop and it didn’t empty over night, it’s not hard like impactes crop or squishy and inflated like sour crop it just feels normal and didn’t empty over night. I’ve set up at pen for her away from the flock and put in some food mixed with mealworms because I was hoping she’d eat those. I also gave her water with electrolytes, but she wouldn’t drink it. I tried putting some in my hand and putting it to her beak but she just exhaled every time. She also started breathing heavily, and one of her eyes is kind of closed and puffy. I also noticed some watery stool on the back legs and under her vent. I don’t have pictures I had to leave my house and setting up her pen was the last thing I was able to do. What do I do to treat her?

How old is your hen? Do you know when she last laid?
It sounds like she's pretty ill. If you can post pictures of the eye that's swollen or puffy, that would help, that could be a sign of a respiratory illness. It also could be from a pecking injury, hard to say from here. Older hens can develop reproductive problems which can slow or stop digestion as they get advanced. When you get home feel if her abdomen feels bloated, like a water balloon, or very firm. Also feel her keel bone to see if it's very prominent or if it's well muscled. Pictures of the bird would be good. If you can get fluids in her, that would be were to start for now.

She is a rescue so I don’t know how old she is or when she laid her first egg, I’ve had her about three years. Her eye probably is a sign of respitory illness because she has mycoplasma. I did feel that her keel bone was a bit prominent but I forgot to check her abdomen so I’ll do that and get her fluids when I get home. All I know is that she was laying and full grown when I got her so I don’t know how old she is. She came with three other chickens of the same age but none of them show signs of age as far as I’m aware

You can treat the mycoplasma symptoms with Tylan or Tylosin. Not a cure, but will help with symptoms.
Any hen over the age of two can develop reproductive problems, not uncommon. Those can be various cancers, infections, internal laying, etc. If the keel is prominent then whatever is ailing her may have been going on for a while. They are very good at hiding symptoms. When you get the chance to give her a good look, let us know what you find.

I will, Sofia did throw up about a week ago, I assumed it was from drinking too much water because of how hot it is because another chicken threw up too. Could this be related?
