Chickens feet point in

It seems like she’s favoring the right leg. But she is getting better. So I’m going to see if there’s any natural anti-inflammatories I can give her and just keep giving her more time in a small pan so she’s not picked on.
 
I hate to throw this out there, but wondering if those more knowledgable on the subject think it could be Marek’s? Sorry about your pullet!

Hoping the OP can give us a clearer photo of the legs and/or video :D
She mentions that the feet point inward - from what I can tell from the photo, I agree. This "defect" if you will, is likely the cause of the staggering like a drunk. She also has only had the bird for couple of weeks - this bird was picked on, so we might speculate the weakness/lethargy was from being kept from food, since bird has perked up with care.

Marek's is always something to consider, but with the inward pointing legs/feet, the causes that were mentioned in post#10 are more likely. Time will tell.

I will try to get some better pictures after work this week. If I can figure out how to get it on YouTube and then get it on here I will do that. The video isn’t great either but it does show her walking. I am really hopeful that time will help out, she is getting better. She eats like crazy, she is alert. I may have to put my one aggressive bird in time out for a few days. I’m willing to take it slow.
 
Well, I got the video onto YouTube but I don’t know how to get it here. Where is a five-year-old when you need one! They could do this in 10 seconds. :barnie
