One of our bantams is not walking. She is sort of scooting around with her wings. She also has pasty butt, which we are going to treat in a few minutes, but she's not using her legs. She can perch, she can move her legs, ( I turned her upside down to examine her pasty butt). When I put my finger under her foot, she latches to it. I thought it was just because of the discomfort of the plug, but I didn't find anything about that. Any ideas on what it is, or how to treat it?
 
How is she doing?
Can you post some photos of her? A video of how she moves may be helpful-upload to youtube an provide a link.

How old is she?
What are you feeding?
Was she walking normally and this suddenly happened?

I would give crush up 1/4 tablet B-Complex and add it to her feed.
Look at her leg joints - any swelling of the joints or flattening of the joints?

How warm is your brooder?

She's doing pretty good, I'm not sure how old she is. We got her from a fair last year, she was an adult already then. I'm sorry, but we're dealing with a family thing right now so I'm going to be offline and can't post.

I'm sorry you are dealing with so much right now.
Since this is an adult, clean up her bottom when you can, feel inside the vent for an egg.
I would make it where she can reach food/water easily if she's having a hard time moving around - a kennel works well for containment.
I would still give her B-Complex or vitamins that contain B2(Riboflavin) for a few days.

Let us know how it goes - we will be here when you come back online :hugs
