I haven't noticed anything else.. She's eating.. We have 4 so not sure if she's laying or not..

It looks like she can't lift her rear. Did you check if she is egg bound?

 

[chickens really]

Does she actually walk around like that?

 

[marblejoe]

Yes she is walking around like this with her tail down.. How do you check if she's egg bound? I'm a new at this

I've never had an egg bound hen so I'm not exactly sure what you do when looking for or treating it but here is an article on the subject: Egg Binding: Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention

I googled egg bound and it looks like she is.. She's trying to push something out..
