I don't know much but could it be mareks disease? - could be worth searching through some posts etc.  Good luck.

Welcome to the forum.  I am afraid my first thought was Mareks disease - I hope I'm wrong.  Have you felt underneath her wing to see if she is hotter than the others?  I'm sure someone with more experience will come along with some helpful information.  I hope she is ok.

Welcome to the site  :D

I have no idea of the answer, sorry, but just to let you know I amended your title so that people can immediately tell what help you need, hopefully to get more answers (in case you thought the question pixies had been at work  ;) ).

Hope the chicken picks up soon.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
