Is my chicken poorly?

Oatmeal may work too, I think.

I would either dip my fingers in water and dribble a few drops down her beak or use a medicinal dropper. Just try to get a few drops of water on her beak and she should instinctively drink it. It should wake her up a bit too.

Will certainly give this a try, Thankyou

One idea: Chickens that don't move a lot can get lice or mites, please check under her wings and at the base of her tail, underside... preferably wearing light colored gloves. Just give her a gentle petting, scratching there and examine closely the dirt that falls off. Is it moving?
Another idea: Has she been taking a massive dump when she gets off of the nest? This should be one really large, stinky mess as she saves it up so as not to dirty her nest. How does her vent look? Clean? Dirty? Swollen?
Another idea: Feed her a hard boiled egg mashed up, shell and all, mixed with some of her normal feed & something to moisten that up with to make for easy bites, water, unsweetened yogurt or applesauce would work great for this. This treat will enable her to pack on some calories quickly while giving her some much needed protein.

You didn't say if she's ACTUALLY sitting on eggs, or if this is a case of merely exhibiting broody behavior so I'll ask... Is she actually brooding eggs?

Hi, she’s been moving fine, vent etc all fine, I checked yesterday when she came out for food and yes she’s sitting on eggs. I will certain check for mites etc though, good thought!
