Hi, I was out putting my hens to bed when I noticed my 1 yo isa brown hen Cookie, was sitting in the nestbox. Shes not broody. Her crop is filled with water, it's not sour crop as I have dealt with that with another hen a few months ago.
Please help.

How is she doing? Was her crop empty this morning?

If it wasn't, then I'd access the crop and treat according to the article linked below.

It emptied yesterday, I gave her multi vitamins in water. I talked to a friend and he said to put a small drop of sterilising fluid into her water, she drank all that. She seems to be getting better slowly.
