Can you give us more information -
Photos of your hen and her poop may be helpful.
When was the last time she laid an egg?
Have you felt inside her vent to see if she has an egg stuck?
What does her crop feel like - full, hard, soft, empty, doughy, any sour smell?
Have you added any new chickens within the last 30days?

It would be a very good idea to gather her up and give her a good going over. Lice/mites check, look at the vent is it prolapsed (check for egg), crop feel, any wounds/injuries, etc.
If you have vet care, that is always best.

She does need to stay hydrated, so try to get some water into her. Drip water beside the beak to see if she will take any in. I wouldn't worry about food, just get her hydrated.
