update?

Well she doesn't have worms. She has an impacted crop. I think we're making progress. Yesterday I got her to throw up a bunch of fluid and got some of the swelling down. Yesterday there was a tangly mess of something stuck in her crop. It seems like it's breaking up today, I've got her on soft foods and I massage it as much as I can. She's still laying healthy eggs and is acting like a normal chicken but I'm still afraid whatevers in there isn't going to pass.

Ah. Maybe give her grit? I don't know much about impacted crop.

Yes, I gave her grit and prebiotic in her water it seems to be helping slowly.
