i need help finding out what’s wrong with my silkie hen

[Nikkyrj]

my silkie hen has been acting weird lately, she’s been screeching at me every time I get near her, she lives indoors with me & snes been laying in my closet not wanting to come out, she’s been shaking & plucking out her feathers, she hasn’t ate or drank this morning, I assumed she was trying to lay an egg but she’s been in my closet for 5 hours now

She sounds like she's broody.

Put an egg in front of her and see what she does. If she has been laying eggs in the closet she may be going broody. Chickens will often brood an empty nest.

Yep agreed with @DobieLover
