Need help!

Hi @longisqtee
I'm sorry she is not doing any better - can you take her to a vet or have a fresh sample of poop tested for worms and Coccidiosis?
Is there a way that you can separate her so you can monitor her more closely? A wire dog kennel works well - you can still have her outside near the flock, but this allows you to see if she is eating/drinking, what her poop looks like and if she is possibly laying eggs.
I agree with @Eggcessive checking her crop function and looking for any mites/lice is a very good idea as well as feeling her abdomen for any swelling/bloat or feeling of fluid.

With chickens, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint what is going on with them, so you have to just start ruling some things out.
Watch to see that she is drinking well - adding some poultry vitamins to her water for a couple of days may give her a boost.

I'm looking for a vet in the area now, i can't seem to find one! i dont believe she is laying, she isnt drinking at all, unless i force her which i did yesterday. i am going to take her out of the pen and sit with her and try to feed her my hand. Her srop doesnt seem to be enlarged and her tummy is empty....
