Help! My chicken was flopped on her back today

They have been eating a lot of scratch recently and not really the starter grower/layer pellets.
 
Can a flock with crd also have mareks at the same time?
A chronic respiratory disease is a totally separate issue. But if it is Mareks, and it can only be diagnosed with a test, Mareks causes chickens to have issues with poor immunity to fighting off common diseases.

Try to get them eating more of their usual chicken feed. Scratch is preferred by most chickens, but it lacks half the protein and other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. My chickens are molting, and they are eating little of their feed. But when I go near the can with the scratch grains, they go nuts. So they only get a small treat before roost time, or none at all. It is hard to make them eat their feed, but that is what they need most.
 
Today I crushed up half a B complex tablet and mixed it with water and fed it to her through a dropper. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
 
How long will it take giving her the vitamin B to see improvement? She is getting worse.
 
Now she is sitting down/falling more often and she has a harder time getting to her feet after she falls or lays down.
