Thank you all for your advice and support its really appreciated.
Keeping my chook in a pen on her own has perked her up, she is standing tall again now.  When I let her out last night she was chased into the bushes but managed to get in the coop first at dusk.  This morning she was wary and wasnt allowed out of the coop at first.  At least she is snatchng  bits of food now and then. 
I hope they settle down soon, I miss chatting to my girlies as one happy family.
