Very pale comb, not drinking, not very active

Try to keep her hydrated and offer some extra protein like egg, mackerel or meat. If you have them also add some poultry vitamins to her water.
It's possible she could be having crop issues so investigate that further.

With the way she is standing, I'm leaning toward her having some type of reproductive/internal laying disorder. Egg Yolk Peritonitis, Ascites, tumors or cancer are fairly common in chickens. You can try giving her a soak in a warm bath with epsom salts added to the water, to see if that helps give her any relief.
