My chicken has not been herself recently, she's quite big and is not moving much. She also hasn't been laying, feeding and drinking.

She sounds poorley. Any other symptoms ?

Isshe hot underher wing compared to another bird. This could indicate an infection which may need antibiotic treatment.

What are her poos like ? This could give a clue to her problem.

How old is she and what breed ?

Where does she choose to sit ?

She's about 24-25 weeks and she chooses to sit under the coop
