Sick Hen

You can repeat the calcium or Tums after 24 hours if she has not laid or passed any lash egg material. She sure has been passing a lot of watery yellow droppings. Is she still regurgitating? Usually they only do that if the crop is getting sour. I would suspect some reproductive disorder or infection by all of the yellow droppings. Liver problems are also sometimes a reason for the yellow droppings. Does her lower belly under her vent feel enlarged? Will she eat some if you hold it under her beak?
She doesn’t really eat if I put it right under her beak. I’ve never really felt with sour crop, should I try something for that in case? I’ll check her lower belly, haven’t noticed it feeling enlarged.
 
I would check her crop again tomorrow morning to see if it is empty. With a crop disorder the crop won’t feel empty, but still have food in it. Tell us if it is full and soft or firm, or if it is empty. A chicken sling might be good for her to get her upright if she is not standing or walking. It can make eating easier if food and water are placed close to her in the sling. This article has examples of chicken slings and the basic design on the first 2 pages:
