One of our Indian giant hen lost her comb from be bullied and not feeling well.
That was an about a month ago ,she doing better but she keeps laying down more often and I wanted to see if I could do anything?will her comb grow back?
I have no pictures because I think I think I could just explain the situation.
 
Is she still being bullied? Chicken combs don't grow back. Depending on the severity of the injury if some comb is left it will heal. Infection is the biggest concern with head injury because it's so close to the brain. Is the injury healed? After a month it should be pretty much healed.

Yep her head healed very well she acts normal except resting more than the others. No comb left sadly.

No she is not being bullied anymore.
 
Have you done a full body check over? Feel for any unusual lumps and bumps? Mites/Lice? Poop check?
If all that is normal. And she eating and drinking normally then I wouldn't worry. You can add some vitamins to the water for a little something extra. I'm going to assume she's with the other chickens now so being lonely isn't it. Age could be a factor if she's an older hen. Weather could be another reason. I know my chickens prefer not to do any unless it's sunny and warm.
