Please Help! Sick hen, lethargic, runny bright green poop

She has managed to keep down some olive oil massaged into her crop, and several bites from a slice of bread soaked in milk. So far, so good.
 
How are your chicken's poops look like? Can you load some pictures of that? Kathy is a big helper as you see. She helps my hen too.
I really appreciate for her big heart.
 
Did she have an impacted crop? How is her crop first thing in the morning? I would not give her oil, because if she vomits, she could aspirate the oil and it would be dangerous. It's possible that she may have a blockage below her crop, if her crop is not hard and full. Liquids are very important to get into her now--plain water. Baking soda should never be used in the water--sodium is bad for chickens, and can cause gout. A piece of aquarium tubing from WalMart with a 35 or 60 ml syringe from the feed store can function as a feeding tube for giving water and tube feeding. Round off the sharp end of the tubing with a lighter. Here is a thread about tube feeding: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/805728/go-team-tube-feeding
