Is it normal?

Yes, you must get her some BABY CHICK crumbles immediately. I just realized from reading your OP that you have been offering her your adult chicken crumbles. That's the problem, she can't digest that. It does not have grit in it. That's why she's refusing it. How long have you had her?

4 weeks...

Please get her grit to eat too. She needs grit to help her digest her food, since you aren't feeding her the proper chick food, which you should be!

Ok, so you got her as a day-old then. Just an FYI, chickens are flock animals so need to be with their own kind, the more the merrier. Especially when very young like that, they need to huddle together for warmth and social comfort. Glad you're going to get her some companions! Maybe you'll post pics when you get them! I hope they all do well for you!

I also have a bag of grits that I give to my chickens can she eat them? my brother got the baby chick crumbles today but they have not grits

She doesn't really need grit unless/until you feed anything other than the chick feed. There's grit in the feed. But if you feed any kind of treats, yes, they will need the baby grit.

No, the grit for the adult chickens is way too big for the babies.

Not yet, I don't think. Baby crumbles until you get her stabilized. You'll need to feed the new ones baby crumbles anyway. How old will the new ones be?
