Here's what I did for mine: I used a tablespoon of cayenne powder to a pint of boiling water, steeped, covered, for at least 15 minutes, strained it and would give it cooled for drinking water. If I had enough time, I would let it steep until room temperature. When cooled I added about a 1/4 cup of honey to a quart.
I started fermenting her feed. I would give her 1 clove of minced garlic in her feed every day. When she stopped eating it voluntarily, I made a tincture from it and gave her that 3 times a day.
The cayenne is good for her and will cause her to drink more, which will help her get rid of toxins. You're doing the right things and looking for symptoms. Spend a lot of time with her since she doesn't have other chickens around. Mine almost stopped eating, I put her back with the others and she started eating again!
I also herbally wormed her.
