Last Saturday I went to go let my chickens out of the coop when I realized that one hadn't come out of the coop. She was laying on the bottom of the coop on her side. I took her in the house and put her in a cage. Her leg is stiffened and will not move. She cannot walk on it either. What do I do? (Picture down below)

I would put some clean pine shavings in her dog crate to keep her out of her droppings. Mareks disease can sometimes be a cause of leg paralysis, and do you know if she was vaccinated for Mareks? Is there swelling or redness in any part of her leg? I would get some poultry vitamins that include riboflavin (vitamin B 2) in her water, or crush part of a Vitamin B Complex tablet daily in some food. Liver also is a good source of B vitamins. Riboflavin deficincey
