Why doesn't my Silkie want to move unless she's in her run!!???

[KiwiPomegranate]

My silkie currently lives in our garage because of problems with my 2 other chickens. She was attacked and pinned down by one of my other hens. I don't know if that has anything to do with this or because she does not get as much fresh air, but she hasn't been laying for quite a while now and she will not move unless we put her outside to walk a long while. Her breast is loosing feathers because she is not sitting on her perch, but the ground instead. Can someone please tell me why....?

She could be sick, but I wonder if she has gone broody - silkies don't need much of an excuse for that.

The thing is she hasn't moved enough that she barely eats and when she does eat its because she just came in from walking a while. I realized too, that I had to show her the food so she would eat. Also, Its been going on for quite a while now..Would that be a problem? I don't think its worms or mites. My mom and I have checked her.

Also, If she's sick.. what might she have?

I think she is broody.
