Sad chicken I think she is sick! Please help!

Do you have some Poultry Cell? I would try that if so. I had a chick that was just gene not doing well and was advised by folks here to have that on hand. It did the trick as far as I could tell. I ended up calling the manufacturer for some more info and was advised not to give for more than about 10 days as it would cause an issue with too much iron.

Thanks for the tip! I will see if there is a UK equivalent of this!

Today she has not left the coop, she is sat on the floor of their upstairs sleeping area, i picked her up and she did not resist, I am not sure how I can help her? Should I isolate her or should I just leave her be? Everyone else is healthy and outside doing their daily activities

You seem attached to her, so perhaps you can find a spot in the house for her? A dog crate with food/water?
If she stays in the coop she may get picked on as birds tend to drive away sick members of the flock.
I have to say it doesn't sound encouraging...is she eating/drinking? You can make a 'super-gruel' from her feed and some vitamin/electrolyte water.
If you have something like 'Chick Savr' mix that as directed and pour it onto a small dish of feed until the consistency is like porridge.
If you don't have any vitamin supplement in the house this link will help you make your own:

Good luck,

I left her where she is so she is in a familiar setting, the other girls don't bother her which is good. I haven't seen her eat today, I tried to give her some corn which she usually likes but refused it, she did peck at my bracelet though. I can feel food in her crop but her poo is all liquid..
Thank you for the help I will try feed her this!
