It is hot, moist and muggy where I live.
Might she just be heat stressed?
Any other birds acting off, or have loosey poops from drinking more than usual?
Electrolytes might help.

Go to your feed store first thing in the morning to and get this:

Sold for cattle but is perfectly safe to use for chickens of all ages.
Your bird might be suffering from something that's called coccidiosis.
It is deadly if it is not treated quickly.

How do you dose for chickens? Mine is about 2 months old.
 
She is lethargic, excessive drinking, runny green poop and moving in slow motion if she even moves at all.

She hasn't been eating but she was drinking excessive amounts earlier today.
Can you post some pictures of her? Is her crop full, hard, doughy, or puffy, and does it empty by early morning? Can you post a picture of her droppings? Has she been eating or drinking? Do you have a picture of her droppings? Look her over for lice and mites? Coccidiosis should be considered, and Corid in the water can treat that.
I agree, I would treat for Coccidiosis, but I would also re-check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink to make sure it's empty.
Drinking excessive amounts of water is usually a bird trying to clear their crop. IF the crop is not empty, then read the article linked below. Begin treating the crop issue in addition to her drinking the mixed Corid water.
