Normal? Or should I be concerned?

After she's had all to eat she wants and then drinks, remove the food and water over night. A healthy crop will be empty in the morning. This is what we want to see and be able to rule that out.

Poop becomes an important thing when a chicken is sick. It can often tell us a lot and sometimes point us in the right direction.

Thank you SO much for your help! I will update with more info in the morning :)
 
Her crop emptied some, but not fully.
One small poop, mostly white with a tiny tan/green spot in the center.

When I gave her the food back, she pecked at at a bit, mostly just moved it around.
 
She is looking a bit more normal! Still not wanting to eat, but I help her drink a bit of ACV water every time I go downstairs and that seems to be helping.
She had an almost normal looking poo earlier.

I am trying to get her to eat a chopped egg with miconazole and probiotics mixed in, but she isn't taking it.
Here is a photo from a few minutes ago, she is holding her tail more normally, and is energetic enough to try and perch on the side of her crate when I try and put her back or take her out.

This morning there was not much improvement, but when I got home from work she had drank a lot of water and had a huge yucky, but normal colored poo!
I put new food in for her (chopped egg with a little probiotics & miconazole) and she gobbled up more than I think she has had in 3 days! I will give her a little more before bed.
She is looking much spunkier and lively, but her crop is still squishy and soft, kind of doughy feeling(granted, she has had nothing but egg for 3 days). I will keep her on the AVC water for the rest of the week, and feed the the egg for the miconazole & probiotics in the morning.

Should I offer her pellets with grit after she eats her medicated egg in the morning?
