I was on my way to lock my coop and i saw 1 of my hens in the corner acting like she was picking the floor and it is pitch dark outside. I put her in her roosting area where she sleeps and left for a while. She was laying in the corner on the groud. Anyone she never acts like that. And she was not even pecking on the floor she was pecking the air
 
How old is she? Is she eating and pooping? What breed is she? Have you checked her over really well, getting under those feathers to make sure she hasn't been injured? Is there a chance she's had a fall? What is she fed (including any and all treats)?
 
Any chance you could get her from the roost and take her inside or to a well lit and safe area to see how she's acting in an environment where she's able to see well?

Hopefully the pecking at the air was just confusion in the dark,,,,but it could also be a neurological issue.

I would feed only the layer feed, available all the time.
The others should only be used very minimally as treats.
