No, it is not normal for her to have her tail down. We need more info on her:
How old is she?
Has she been laying eggs, and is she laying eggs at present, how long since last egg?
Does she have any discharge from her vent?
Does she have any odd swellings?
Is she eating and drinking?
What do her droppings look like?
Have you checked her over thoroughly for any injury, pests, etc...?
