Hen acting strange help! Pics added

My white rock hen, 3 years old, is acting strange.

1. I can walk right up to her and pick her up. She is not a social hen and normally is hard to catch so this is my main indication that something is wrong.

2. Last night she was just standing outside her coop, staring at it in the dark.

3. She has been falling asleep standing up.

4. And she seems top heavy. If you gently nudge her she has to regain her balance.

Now what i don't see:

It does not feel like she has eaten.

She is not thin

No mites

She does not feel egg bound

her legs look fine apart from a slight rise which could possibly maybe be scaly leg mite if I squint at it...

Shes not molting

No diarrhea or signs of poop issues

She is just acting odd, and its bothering me. I just noticed her acting off yesterday night around 9 when I put my birds away. She was standing outside the coop door staring into it. 

Any ideas? What should I try/what should I do?

Anyone? Shes currently staring up at the house in the middle of the yard, she hasent moved much from the spot over the past hour :(

Here is an update.

I brought her inside and she was very cold. I am hoping she will perk up with some warmth.

She did poop for me, however it was a tiny little plop of a half hearted terd.

I have pictures of her so you can all see, as well as her legs so we can rule out leg mites.

I still have no idea what is wrong with her, anyone???

What is there is lierally all that came out. A tiny little black bit of poop. She keeps trying to poop also, is that a sign of being egg bound? Should I soak her butt just to be safe?

Here is her legs, any sign of bugs?

Her butt:

Here is her face, wattles and comb 

What should I do now :(

P.S. Thank you for the advice Enchanted sunrise!

Ok, I gave her the baby vitamins, and im about to put electrolytes into her water. She has not been de-wormed recently, however she was dewormed last year with Valbazene.

Ill have to look that up, the wattle thing, just in case its a symptom, but it has been cold lately.
I hope she recovers also, how do i make eat? At the moment shes not eating anything. Shes just playing with it :(

It would probably be good to give her some vitamins, minerals, electrolytes & probiotics as a general system boost.

Her legs look very good.

 

The lower part of her waddles looks kind of dark. I don't know if that's normal for her, but I've seen that listed as a symptom for some diseases. You could try to do a 'search' on that.

 

There's a page that helps with diagnosing from photos of poops/droppings that may help at:

I hope you're able to figure out the problem & your hen recovers well.

I actually have that book! So ill read threw it again and see if it helps at all.
