There are several possibilities; she is eggbound, has lice/mites, or needs worming. Just type each one in the the BYC search box and read up on them one at a time.

It could be a number of things. Could you give some more info?

How old is the hen?
Is she eating?
Is / has she been laying?
Does she have any noticeable injuries?
When you hold her, can you feel an egg or other mass inside of her?
Is she sneezing, have a runny nose or have any other signs of a respiratory illness?

I'm curious why you decided to give her Tylan 50...
