Chicken not using legs??

[Lummy]

Basically I thought she was just cold so I put her on the heating pad I want the check on her in an hour and she's was still not using her legs she tries but she just sits on her legelbows? Knees I don't know how to put it. But she won't walk her legs aren't broken all I can think of is maybe she sprained her hips? But I don't know. Help?

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

So sorry you are having issues with your chicken. I would recommend posting a full write up of your issues in the emergencies/diseases/injuries section of the forum. Be sure to include things like her age and what you feed your birds - specificity is important in diagnosing a bird.

My first thoughts based on the information given would go to paralysis due to Marek's Disease, or possibly an injury or vitamin deficiency.
