I'd definitely just switch to an all flock for higher protein, cut the corn out totally except for occasional treats, and have a separate feeder/dish for oyster shell as the all flock has more protein, less calcium.

All flock can be fed to all aged chickens, including chicks.

To get her to eat, you could try wetting some of the feed in a small dish. Ours act like that's a treat. That would provide a little hydration too.

Scrambled eggs is something else you could try a little of as most chickens can't turn those down.

Okay thank you I’m currently giving them the natural wise layer feed it’s a teal bag someone had recommended it to me and that’s what I had gave them ever since and they’ve been fine and they always been healthy till she got sick. But thank you I will try these things out and hope she gets better and starts walking again because that has me very worried.

I’d say abt 4 cups of layer food and same amount of corn too if is the corn why could it only be affecting her if the other chickens eat the same thing but I will stop adding corn and add more layer food. I will be looking forward to get her on vitamins.

That should help a lot, as we're guessing vitamin deficiency issues. A few times doing this wouldn't harm them so much but weeks, months, or years would start causing problems as they are getting half the nutrition.

Adding the vitamins and just giving them straight feed should show an improvement in all of them. Their feathers will even look better and they may lay a bit better eggs as well.
