Lethargic polish chicken, red tinged droppings

Can you post some updated photos of her and her poop?
Crop feels soft - does that mean it feels like there's food in it? Did she eat today?
Earlier this week, did you check the crop several times in the mornings to make sure it was emptying overnight? Drinking lots of water, I would suspect crop issue. The Corid is a good move, I would have also started that.

You mention you think she's been bullied? Did you see it? Any pecking to the head?
Also, how well can she see? Have you tried trimming her feathers away from the eyes to see if there's improvement? That sounds odd, but it's happened before, someone had one wasting away, not eating/drinking - the bird could not see well enough with the feathers over their eyes.

This morning her crop felt not as full but a little hard lump. She had not pooped all night in her crate.
We gave her some water in a syringe and tried to empty the crop but nothing came out. The lump we felt disappeared though. She did poop right after we did that so I’ve attached some pictures.

I don’t think she has been eating much with the way that her crop felt but I’ve given her a few blackberries and corn and she is tearing up the blackberry now.

I know she has been drinking bc I’ve heard and watched her do that much at least.

The picture through her crate I know isn’t great but that’s been her typical posture since we’ve come inside, hunched over like that. She usually stands up tall tail feathers out.

Thank you again!

So you are treating her with the Corid correct? 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or
2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water. I would give that for 7 days.

I would also be inclined to give her 400IU of vitamin E daily. No other added vitamins except the E for now. See if she will eat a bit of scrambled egg daily for you too.

The crop not emptying overnight is a concern. I would encourage her to drink, provide a little bit of poultry grit (crushed granite) as well. Just sprinkle a little for her to take if she wants it.
