Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

This is going to sound bad but I am not sure what it should feel like.
I felt her crop and I feel a lump, so yes. I added apple vinager to her water thinking maybe she is experiencing digestive problems.

With my minimal knowledge I am trying everything I can think of. Poor girl

Since you know her crop is full now tomorrow morning it should be empty. If it’s not empty tomorrow morning that means that she may have an impacted crop.

Yes I checked her vent area for mites and did not see any. I use a anti parasite powder in the coop and where they dist their feathers. I have done this since day 1

should I remove food from her to verify tomorrow? She has been slowly pecking at food

Remove the food when she goes to sleep this evening.

What exact product do you use?

I have her on the porch in a pet crate today it is 80 so heat isn’t going to be an issue.

She won’t eat bread none of my chickens like it so I will give her powder calcium

I'm wondering if part of the problem is that she has gotten too many treats all together and hasn't been getting a full complete diet. I still suggest you stop all treats but if you insist on feeding them then limit them to once a week and not daily.

Do you use ACV daily too? ACV can cause calcium absorption problems, plain water is best especially so in your type weather.

No, they get plain fresh water daily. I added ACV to hers today, In case of digestive issues

Hopefully the calcium helps her. It's such a guessing game and we simply can only do that...guess.

Is a vet an option? They could do an x-ray to see if it is an egg stuck somewhere problem.
