Noticed yesterday one of my very active hens was withdrawn and quiet. Today she was still in the coop in the morning which is not her at all. Brought her in the house and have been watching her. She isn’t moving much but is very alert. She is breathing fine. But haven’t seen her eat or drink. I gave her nutridrench (whatever it is called) and some yogurt. Her BMs have been a wide variety today.. they started out looking like they had undigested kale, then they started looking like scrambled eggs and now they was very watery basically clear. I’ve been rubbing her crop it’s not full but when I do she has sizable BMs after. The crop is not hard it’s soft like it would be in the morning and she doesn’t smell sour. Attaching pictures. Read a ton of articles and I can’t pin point what it could be. Please help.

When was her last egg?

If she normally lays eggs fairly consistently and hasn't laid, then I'd get extra Calcium into her. Calcium Citrate with D3 (600mg) would be best, you can find it in the vitamin aisle at Walmart, CVS, etc. In a pinch, TUMS (1 tablet daily) will work.

Work on her staying hydrated. Re-check her crop to see that it's emptying. If she's pooping after you massage the crop, then I'd do that periodically. Once she's hydrated, see if she will eat a little of her normal feed or bits of scrambled egg.
