My hen cant walk anymore. This is her 3rd time getting like this in the past year and a half. I already gave her calcium, nutrí drench, Coccidiosis medicine but nothing works. I have given her this in the past and she got back up in a couple of weeks. This time I feel like shes not gonna make it because she dosent even have the strength to stand up for a few seconds. I have been fedding her food by hand since she cant eat or dtink byherself. This is about her 3rd week like this and is about 4-5yrs old. Below i have some pictures because she kind off sits on her knees, and also only one of her feet curl inwards in a pic i put u can see the normal foot and the other foot that curls inwards , i checked for bumblefeet on that foot but i dont see anything, i will still put in a pic below of her foot and maybe yall can see something i dont

The sitting on her hocks can be a symptom of vitamin B 2 (riboflavin) deficiency. I would give her half of a super b complex tablet which contains B 2 and other B vitamins daily into her beak or crushed into some food or scrambled egg.
