No she moves around to other spots.

Is she molting? Feathers all over the coop, pin feathers on her neck? Combs do go pale during the fall molt, which is totally normal. Birds can also eat less, become tired, even have diarrhea during a molt.

If she is not molting, somethings else is going on, possibly she has internal parasites, a virus or bacterial infection, etc...

If she is not molting (and all of mine either are starting or finishing their yearly molt,) then you need to examine her all over, and get her to drinking some fluids. Sick chickens will lie around and not eat or drink enough. Inspect her crop to see if it is empty, or has food in it, or if it is hard, doughy, or puffy. Crop problems are common. Pick her up, feel of her keel bone (breast) for weight loss. Check her skin around and under the vent and elsewhere for lice or mites. Look and tell us what type of droppings she is having. Hold a cup to her beak and get her drinking. Electrolytes and vitamins for poultry are good to add for a few day. Offer her some chopped egg, tuna, or some wet chicken feed. Feel of her lower belly for swelling or tightness, and look at her legs, feet, and her head for anything unusual.
