No not really, if she had no movement she would be dead (sorry)
but I highly recormend takeing her to the vet

I know you may not want to hear this but she may die in the next few days,
its more likely the mareks diesese I would rush her to the vet and get a fecal sample if your very worried about her.
or if you live in a place where is know for paralyzing bugs then that's problay it!
im sorry to hear about your loss and your suffering

I think - although we love her very much . - it’s her time to go soon anyway . As she is an older lady and is lonely because of the loss of her friend it will be better . Unfortunately it’s not an area know for paralysing bugs and so it’s probably mareks . Thank you x

Okay, she does have scaly leg mites, so I would soak her legs in warm soapy water and try to gently scrub her legs and feet with a toothbrush to lift the scales. Then dry her, and put some type of oil on her legs and rub it into and under the scales. This might be better done when she is in a sling, but even if you cannot bathe her, I would oil her legs once a week to smother the mites. Oils to use—castor oil, mineral oil, Crisco shortening, vaseline, or vegetable oil.

It looks like she could have Mareks disease or something internal, such as an infection or tumor that is pressing on her sciatic nerves. Does her crop empty over night? Feel it to see if it is empty and flat, full, hard, doughy, or puffy. I would try making a sling. There are many inventive pictures for all sizes of chickens. Make something where you can insert water and food cups in front of her. You could also keep her positions on rolled towels for her comfort.

If you put her down, you may want to get and necropsy from the state vet to look for Mareks.
