I hatched a Indian Runner that looked like that, but he had a brown cap on his head!

Hmm, she appears to be quite alert, and it does appear she has control of her legs, just not able to apply a good amount of pressure to them. May I suggest something, I'd probably add some more bedding so when she applies pressure to her feet the bedding does not slip around, it'll give her some more stability.

Is a vet an option?

I'd really like to see a video, or nonetheless a picture of her. How does her abdomen area feel?

I posted the video

Yes I will add more hay. The vet won’t be open until Monday possibly Tuesday. I can take her then.

It may obturator paralysis? I hope she will be better tomorrow

obturator paralysis

That crossed my mind, and is why I asked if her abdomen area felt abnormal.
