She possibly has a cold or Respitory infectiojn. I have one of mine with similar symptoms today. I have seperated her into a smaller cage into the main shed which is fairly warm. I have a general purpose antibiotic that I am giving her which I have used before with success so fingers crossed

Hi Betty, when mine had a respiratory infection I took one to the vet and got the antibiotics there. Is she wheezing or coughing? Rattling chest kind of thing?

The one I have is called Avicycline. and I got it from Better Pets and gardens I think...or maybe Knights in Wangara....You could try ringing them both to see if they have it. On the other hand you may be better to seek a vet as I don't think these ones are very strong.

Hi how do you administer Avicycline to your hen???
I will buy some from the stockfeed store or see if Elders have it as I live in Bridgetown.
Cheers Betty
