Pet chicken is sick (multitude of reasons), help would be much appreciated!

No but i dont think it would be either of those because wouldn't chickens with worms eat heaps? and she isnt eating at all, and i havent found any blood in her poo.
 
I see you looked for vets but have you looked for one who specializes in birds? It sounds like an x-ray and/or antibiotics could be very helpful. And just throwing this out there - my hen is constantly eggbound and your girl's symptoms sound a lot like what happens to my girl when she's eggbound: fluffed up feathers, molting, generally lethargic and visibly not feeling well, hardly pooping (and when she does, it's mostly watery with some white or yellow), and no appetite. You should try to get some food in her though. Someone else suggested a mash. Soaking her food in water, adding some yogurt, banana, applesauce, scrambled eggs, and other soft treats to get her excited about eating, works well.
 
ive discovered it was sour crop because i tried the regurgitate method and heaps came out. She has vomited heaps (3 times) but still not eating.. I dont have any of the medicine youre supposed to use for sour crop and im not sure if youre supposed to feed it to her or rub it on her (since its a cream). Is there anything else I can do?


Be extremely careful doing that. Its very easy for a bird to choke & die on their own vomit when you're doing what I call 'tippy teapot' with them.

Have you searched any articles here on crops? There are different types of crop issues & maybe some home remedies that might help. Let me see if I can find any...
