Is her vent clear?

What are your brooder temperatures?

Can you make sure that she has a vent, and that it is open? Try feeding egg yolk and make a runny paste of chick crumbles. I would give a couple of drops of Poultry NutriDrench.

Unfortunately not every chick that hatches will survive. Not having any poop is a sign that its internal system may not be working correctly. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there may not be anything you can do to help this chick.
