Wondering the same thing. Also wondering when the dusting was done and if perhaps since she is high strung the handling by a human to do the dusting could have caused some shock to set in. Like when one narrowly escapes a predator attack.
If she is still walking, has droopy wings and acts weak and drunk, she may have coccidia. If it is cold where you are, the cold will definitely cause a sick chicken to go into shock. She NEEDS to be in a warm place.
This hen really does need to be in a warm place, 80-85 degrees is ideal. If she stays outside there is a very good chance the cold will kill her.

Do you have Corid? Are you able to get some ?
You mentioned your chickens acted sick after you dusted them. What did you use?
I agree with Kathy, healthy chickens will not go into shock just because they are handled. Even unhandled roosters that need attitude adjustments don't suffer from shock even after I knocked the crap out of them.....
