Curled feet

I am taking her to the Vet in the morning. I am very sad about... The other chicken's are ignoring her. I feel so bad...
Do you know if she was vaccinated against Marek's? Keep us up to date on the vet visit. You're very fortunate to have that option. Bring her inside so she can be comfortable. I hope you have a good outcome.

My chicken George isn’t walking. I’ve tried vitamin b complex. She is eating and drink. Please help
She has been on Vit B complex? for about a week. No other symptoms. I am very worried.

She's been like this a week?
Is her neck also curled under?
Any chance she ate some moldy feed or something rotten?

I'm sorry but being in that state after a week, then quality of life should be considered.
Hard to know the cause unless you lose her and have testing/necropsy. https://www.metzerfarms.com/PoultryLabs.cfm

Able to eat/drink on her own or are you having to hand feed?
I would still give her B-Complex, make sure she's eating well/drinking. You can try placing her in a sling for short periods of time to get her off her joints.
Hopefully your vet can help you more. I'm sorry that's she's not well.
 
I am sorry about your lame hen. How old is she exactly? Has she laid eggs recently? Has her back ever looked crooked or has she had any strange appearance with her posture before she became lame. Do you have a rooster who might have hurt her back? Sometimes a back injury or a spinal deformity at birth can lead to lameness. Unfortunately Mareks disease is also possible. Please let us know what your vet has to say tomorrow.

Chicken slings can be helpful in lame chickens to get them up and in front of food. Here are somemexamples of those:
