Updates! Sleepy chicken

Keep her on a mix of feed/water/eggs/probiotics for a few days. It sounds like she needs to regain some strength. Chick feed, if you have it, is a bit higher in protein, so mix that with the water/yogurt/eggs if you have it. Hand feed her if you have to.
Get her as full as you can get her too.

Yeah we got some chick starter, what should be given that or her laying feed?

And she still doesn’t bother eating but sometimes she pecks at the ground looking for something or sometimes at the floor
 
They really need chicken feed. Surely there is a Tractor Supply or similar store somewhere near you to get the right feed for them. Do an internet search for chicken feed in your area.

Fruit is typically reserved for chicken TREATS, not to sustain them as chickens' nutritional requirements call for substantial amounts of protein in their diet. For a short time, you could get away with cat food or dog food, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything but an emergency.

Yeah she doesn’t eat any treats nor her laying feed. We have chick starter, layer feed and some cracked corn, which would be the best for her

Since she still seems weak, I'd use the Chick Starter to make a moist mash of:

Starter Feed
Yogurt and/or Eggs
Enough water to moisten it for easy digestion

You could mix in the sunflower seeds mentioned below to the mix above.

Anything with protein to help her get her strength back is going to be good for her. Eggs, Feed, and Meat all have high protein, even Sunflower Seeds. She needs protein and a good probiotic (yogurt is good for the probiotic) will help her get her stomach/digestive tract back to feeling better.
