Hen is "moaning" continously

She sounds like she has stridor, a sound that is made when they have something in the airway, such as a small piece of feed, mucus, or swelling. Is she also sneezing or snicking? Does she seem in any distress? If she is relaxed and not having labored breathing, I would just watch her. Most times stridor goes away in a few hours or overnight, if the cause is a piece of feed in the airway. Here is a video of a silkie in post 1 with stridor that went away afterward:

Seems relaxed, I didn't hear her sneezing or snicking but there might be another one that was.

Thanks
 
Checked just now, seems to have gone away.
