The temp got down to the single digits last night and she is now slow moving and seems heavier? Than what she was. Almost like dead weight it seems like. Not really fighting me when I go to pick her up? Did she get to cold or is it something else? Please help

If you are using a metal nesting box; put the heat lamp over the nesting box; the heat will radiate through the metal and keep her warm in there too. Make sure you are providing fresh non frozen water. She could get a chill from drinking cold water or not having enough if its frozen. If you have a metal water; you can clip the light above it; that will provide heat to your chickens as well as keeping the waterier from freezing at the same time.
