this is too little information to help you figure out what may be wrong...there is a sticky at the top of this forum that helps you give members useful info to help you figure out what may be wrong.

Please answer these questions, and be very specific, so we can help you out.

1) What type of bird , age and weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
5) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
6) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
7) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
8 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
9) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use

It might be dietary combined with stress (thinking you have not had her long?)
Are you giving her a layer ration? She needs this if egglaying age
Bird seed is not all that nutritional and will dilute the nutrients in her feed. There is also a higher level of mycotxin allowed in bird seed. I suggest you stop giving her that .
Offer her free choice yogurt> plain that has live bifidus cultures in it... this will help her gut flora.
