Sick orpington

If she smells bad, then she most likely has some type of infection going on.  Check her vent area, if it is especially dirt, then give her a soaking in a warm soapy bath and clean the bum.  This will help you inspect the vent and surrounding tissues for any type of wound or something like flystrike.  Also take this as an opportunity to check under her wings and belly to make sure their are no wounds/sores, that could be infected and causing the smell.

Sometimes cancer or tumors can possibly cause an odor as well, so it could be internal if you don't find any obvious cause when doing an external check.

How long ago did she have the "crooked neck" and how did you treat it?

Offer some extra poultry vitamins and some chopped egg to see if she will eat.

Keep us posted.

Put in a heat lamp last night but came in this morning and she was dead. Gave her some of the save a chick vitamin water packs but it didn't work unfortunately
