I'd give her a broad spectrum antibiotic, something for parasites and have you checked if she has any mites?
Just recently, like several months ago, we received new chickens, one day one of them seemed off balance, she dropped her head and was trembling. My husband was worried she had Newcastle and we quickly gave her the antibiotic (one shot daily for four days) by day four she was perfectly fine; here in my country it's called oxichem it has Oxytetracycline (now we keep it just in case we see any bird with respiratory distress).
Also just recently we have a young rooster that was lethargic, his wattle was pail and he was stumbling, he'd open and drop his wings slightly, we'd seen he had a few mites but he'd go into dust baths so we figured it'd go away (this is the first time we've had chickens), so we bought a talcum for it (clean guard) and we put it under his feathers and in the cloaca area and immediately the parasites started coming out like crazy (we're sure he was staring to show signs of anemia) now he's starting to get better, moves around more, he eats well and we try to give him protein rich treats so he'll gain strength. We gave all the others the same talcum treatment just in case.
Guess I'd try all those things. Whenever an animal is introduced to a new environment (even humans) parasites or respiratory diseases might occur, I'd cover the basics, and then go from there.
