Thank you all for your welcoming words. Sorry to say I lost my chicken to what ever was going on with her. I went to the local feed store and got powered electrolyte's. Started with it, gave her Epsom salt bathes, dryed her, massaged her body, kept her warm and made sure she wasnt stressing. All these things I read about which I wouldnt have know what to do with out this website. After she died my husband checked her to see if she was eggbound and she wasn't. He said she had a terrible smell when he checked her like something happened inside of her. So that's my story on Henny Penny. I cried several times about losing her. But I know things like that just happen. Have any of you had an experience like this? Also, sometimes she would open her beak and water (or like water) came from her.
Thank all of you that helped me. I appreciate it.

So sorry about Henny Penny :hugs

I would guess sour crop due to the smell and water leaking out. Are all of your other chickens okay? You might try a round of probiotics once or twice a week, just to keep their digestive systems healthy. We either ferment grains or give them powdered probiotics in their water. Greek yogurt is good too, just messier. Each one could have around a tablespoon a day of that.

I am so sorry for your loss❤️‍🩹
Sour crop as @Debbie292d mentioned and also canker are the two illnesses that I would suggest you be prepared for.
