Pictures please? What’s her main diet? Flock mates? Any new birds recently? @Wyorp Rock and others can you please come work your magic? I’m not good with these things?

My birds are thriving 10 degrees and lower. Search all over her body for anything that might be different.

Photos may be helpful.
How old is she?
When did she last lay an egg?

You mention she is all down and sad - do you mean she's lethargic, holding her tail down, sitting/sleeping all the time - more information about her symptoms would be good.

Feel her crop - what is that like?
Any swelling of the abdomen?

Lots of good questions above.

Here's what I do when a bird is acting 'off'.
Isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so you can closely monitor their intake of food and water, crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed), and their poops. Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling.

Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.
