If she has good body weight and is healthy, I would not be too concerned yet. Some greens may take weeks to become acclimated to new surroundings after being shipped, and then others acclimate in a few days. If she goes over 3 or 4 months you should re-evaluate the situation to make sure something else isn’t going on. Greens this young rarely go off feed once acclimated regardless of the time of year or their sex. If she is checking out the food item, that is a good sign. If you have access to chicks or other small birds and she stays off a little longer, you could try that just to see if she’ll feed. Sometimes that will jumpstart them again. Let us know how it goes.
