HELP hen can’t walk properly, no circulation in feet

Can you get some vitamins with riboflavin today, or can you feed her some chopped liver, just a small amount daily? Her legs appear numb, so it may well be Mareks or riboflavin deficiency. There could also be pressure on her sciatic nerves from something internal, so I would insert a finger just inside her vent to feel for a stuck egg. Has she laid eggs recently? The tail pointing down might be a sign. If you feel a stuck egg, you can give her some calcium. Human calcium tablets, Tums, or a ground egg, shell and all can be given to her.

None of the hens have layed yet so I doubt it would be a stuck egg....?
I’ll get her some vitamins with riboflavin today and see how that goes, thanks

Yes, I agree that the B Complex is fine to use. You may give 1/4 tablet in her food daily or 1 tablet in a liter of water daily. It is hard to overdose. Hoepfully, there will be some improvement in the next week. Unfortunately riboflavin deficiency should be treated as early as first signs are seen for a better chance of success. But, I am thinking that Mareks may be a likely cause of the leg problems, since this has been going on for weeks. Here is some reading about Mareks disease:
