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. Click here for our emergency section....https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

If you have an avian vet you can take her to, that will be the best bet.

Good luck with her and I sure hope you can get her back to good health soon.

My first thought is Marek's disease, but there are other possibilities. Hopefully, members in the Emergencies section can help!

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!
