Giving electrolytes is good.

I would also alternate some probiotic water in there, like Hydro-Hen, Save A Chick, etc., or sugar free yogurt is good. Get the Greek if you have to buy any for her as that's one of the highest probiotic yogurts. That would help any vent gleet remaining and also help her crop and digestive tract.

Here's two excellent articles about crops:
