Yellow/Green poop, dirty butt, lethargic, breathing sounds like rattling

My entire flock was given a dewormer and VetRX, tonight. I put a probiotic, and a flock wellness solution (vitamins, mineral, oregano oil, and other wellness ingredients) in the their water.
The sickly hen is still in bad shape. Not eating or drinking much, but some. Still watery yellow urates.
 
I would offer a little mushy wet chicken flock raiser, and a bit of scrambled egg or tuna a couple of times a day. Adding water to everything will get more liquids into her. She probably is missing her flock, so I would give her some supervised visiting time with them.
 
I can confirm no egg has been laid since she has been in quarantine. That was Sunday, so we're on day 5. She is eating and drinking very little. When I gave her time with the rest of the flock, she was pecking at the ground, and eating just a few mealworms. She is still coughing and rattling breathing. I have used VetRX on her daily and soaked her in warm Epsom salts twice now.

This hen is still coughing and ill. She's lethargic, yellowy urate and doesn't move around much. I don't believe this is a crop issue, but I could be wrong. She has her head tucked in, not extending her neck and head out. I just do not know what to do for her.

The yellow urates is not a good sign. If she has salpingitis, it's incurable. Keep her comfortable. Let us know how she is doing.
 
The yellow urates can continue for her life. They may be from liver involvement due to salpingitis, egg yolk peritonitis, cancer, or heart failure (that is usually seen in meat birds more commonly.) If you see any eye bubbles or gunk, that could be mycoplasma or MG. If not then a respiratory virus, such as infectious bronchitis might be the case. MG can respond to an antibiotic such as Tylosin, but if it is a virus, then it would need to run it’s course.
