Chicken can’t stand up! Please help

[jorj]

Yesterday I noticed my 18 week old black star was just sitting on the floor, I put out some treats to see if she would get up but she just used her wings to move over to them and never stood up, I isolated her and thought she was just hot but it persisted today. She laid her first egg 4 days ago. It is also like 96 degrees here. I don’t know what it could be.

Edit:————- she was not vaccinated for merek’s if that helps. She also is eating and drinking normally no egg binding or swollen abdomen, everything seems normal, but she just can’t standup

Does anyone know any meds that might help?

What is her normal diet? Are her legs completely useless? Are her feet able to grip.

She eats a mix of all flock and layer pellet feed her legs are useless if I put my finger under her foot she will loosely grip it but overall she can’t use them at all
