I bought this hen almost 2 weeks ago. Now when she stands on her right leg - it gives out at the middle joint. She can't put weight on it for more than a few seconds, doesn't walk around much, and lays down to eat. I have a Video but don't know how to attach it.
 
It says the video is private. She may have loose tendons in the leg. You might be able to splint or support the leg with vet wrap strips, but check circulation often, since it can cause swelling or tissue loos in the foot. Vet wrap may slip and become too tight.
