Welcome!

Sorry, I am not highly experienced at what ails chickens but if she is not broody, which it does not sound like she is, I am leaning towards a possible egg laying issue but it could be a number of things.

I recommend posting some pictures on the ER Forum; the folks there sure do know there stuff and should be able to help out. It would also help them out if you can provide as many symptoms as possible, including when she last laid https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

This is the list of information which would be helpful:

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use

Good luck!
