Hello there and welcome to BYC! I am so sorry about your girl! She looks so sad. I think you need to post this in our emergency section for more help with her. She could have sprained something, dislocated her hip or she may even have Mareks disease. Many neurological issues can cause lameness as well.

Good luck with her and I sure hope you can get her back to good health soon.
Thanks and I have posted in there this morning I'm gonna see how she goes tonight and look into a vet for her she is my baby the nicest one of the 4 loves to be held and stroked just hoping nothing serious
Glad you joined us! I'm sorry about your hen. My first thought is Marek's disease, but there are other possibilities. Hopefully, members in the Emergencies section can help!
Welcome to BYC! We're glad to have you. I'm sorry to hear about your hen! Marek's is a definite posiblity, but she might also have strained or sprained a muscle. Other things, such as vitamin deficiencies, can cause paralysis as well. I would definitely post in the Emergencies section for some more answers. Good luck with her!
Hi Glad you could join the flock!! So sorry it's not under better circumstances Really hope you can get her back to full health soon, she looks such a sweet bird. Wishing you the very best of luck with her in the future
