Thanks, I know the foods should be regaining her weight, but I can still feel that she is bone-thin. Should I just give her some time to regain weight, or is this a possible problem?

Weight loss is quickly regained after the health issue is resolved. Meanwhile, keep an eye on her behavior. If she continues to not eat, becomes weak, then you need to intervene. At some point, sugar water can be given by syringe or tubing to elevate glucose. That often jump starts the appetite.

One of my favorites is boiled rice with keifer mixed in. Sick chickens often will eat that when nothing else tempts them. Boiled or scrambled egg, cottage cheese, crumbled tofu are all good foods for sick chickens. If you can get some kale, it's usually a winner, as well, either steamed or raw.

Thanks for the info! Update; she is eating okay, taking medicine at correct times and her crop feels slightly firmer. Thanks for the help @azygous !

Hoping she is well, my SS is having issues that started with crop stasis and sour crop.
