Her name's Happy, and she's been extremely pale the past few days. She's young, maybe 2, and isn't acting lethargic, but isn't as enthusiastic about being a chicken and free roaming right now. Late at night, as Happy was getting ready to sleep, she almost turned white. Her poops are kinda green, sometimes watery. It isn't right...

First picture is normal Happy, second is from yesterday. Any ideas what could cause this and some home remedies I can give her are so appreciated.

What breed is she? Has she laid any lash eggs? Is there any yellow discharge in her poop. You should take as many pictures of her poop as you can, and keep posting them. Is she eating? What does she eat? Is her stomach bloated below her vent? Can we see some clear pictures of her eyes? Any respiratory issues?
 
I'm not sure if her breed, looks like a Wyandotte Chicken. I also haven't seen her in the nesting box lately, but there's been a few weak eggs, not quite soft shell.
Today Happy's a lot more lethargic. Tried to feed her some yogurt and eggs, but she wasn't as interested until other chickens ate with her. She's been just laying there, and when they free range, Happy's just picking, not quite eating.
Don't have photos of her poop, but right now, it's either runny, almost like egg whites, or firmer and green. I can't tell of any respiratory issues, but I'd assume a pale comb is a sign of lacking oxygen.

I've been checking her abdomen. Seems normal, just a little skinnier than usual, and she doesn't seem to have mites. I was reading that this could be E coli, and she did eat one of our eggs about a week ago.
