Can you post some photos of your hen, her poop and her vent?

Is the crop not emptying? Does she have plaques or canker inside the beak?
Does she lay eggs?
How old is she?
What are you feeding her including treats?
Does she free range?

Hi, sorry I've taken so long to reply, unfortunately she passed away, thankyou for everyone's help, I'm devastated she's gone but she's no longer in pain or discomfort, she will be missed 😔

:idunno I see the photo. Is it current - does she stand with her head down like that all day?
You mention she's miserable and you have tried everything -- can you answer some of the questions asked previously?

No that's nota current photo, she was about 5yrs olds, didn't have her from a baby, she was a free range hen, she stopped laying and about a week later she didn't seem right, she had a very messy bottom it had a sour smell, then she developed sour crop, their main diet was layers pellets and corn, they had the odd fruit and veg now and again also dried meal worms but this was sparingly, I was advised given her unsweetened apple sauce, Greek yogurt and boiled egg, ACV in the water and giving her an anti fungal cream for 7 days twice a day 😔
