So I have noticed one of my longhorns acting werid... She is looking really mangy and missing all her tail feathers, she hasn't laid an egg in a while and her comb is turning white near her head also she sneezed once but after that I didn't see her sneeze again... I am not sure if she is sick or molting
 
Is her comb pale or white (as in white patches?) Sneezing once can be nothing, but sometimes repetitive sneeze or cough could be a respiratory disease. Combs can get pale, and laying usually stops during a molt. Each chicken handles it differently, sometimes they are very weak. Boosting her protein might help in regrowing feathers.
