I would keep her inside with food and water.Offering eggs and tuna occasionally would be good too..Keep a eye on her and watch for any abnormal symptoms,Bowel movements ect.

i am putting her in a crate and gave her some liquid calcium and water with vitamins and electrolytes. she actually pooped while being soaked and she was dosing off. her bowel movement this morning was normal and it looked like it right now

another update upon closer inspection she must be going through the final stages of molting!!! it must been a bare minimum molt because you can't even tell other than the fact a few of her butt feather have those waxy tubes around her feathers!!! but i don't think that would have been a cause of what her symptoms are this morning. She is sort of eating so maybe she feels better. But no eggs for 5 months!!!!! I don't care about her not give me eggs but it makes a person worry!
Now i'm late for work. I wonder if I could use the reason as chicken being sick. (lol it is very closely spelled to children)

Just an update: So yesterday mid day all the sudden she perked up, drank a whole bunch of water, ate a ton and is not happily clucking away. Today she was her normal self. Still hasn't laid an egg but at least she perked up!!! weird what happened. Maybe she was just under the weather?
