How old is she? Do you see anything wrong with her eyes, any swelling? Can she walk at all? Check around her vent area and make sure you don't see any mites, look very closely they are tiny. Any thing look wrong with her vent, any strange discharge?

Do you see any lice or mites on her?

When was her last egg?
What do you feed, including treats?
What's her poop like?
Photos?

I'd check her crop to make sure its emptying overnight, make sure to look for mites/lice. If she's not laid eggs and should have, start her on 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week.

Work on hydration, giving electrolytes or a bit of sugar water. Once hydrated, then see if she will eat some mushy feed.

Yes, lots of mites, have doused with DE and the coop. Giving electrolytes and D3.
Hope they come good
