Help! Old English Game can barely walk!

Have you ever heard of chicken Bumblefoot? I cannot recall what that is exactly but it has to do with sores on the bottom of their feet. I would definitely keep her away from the big hens. I have a banty rooster and he had a difficult time living with the big guys. He's full grown now, and does ok with the hens... they are Rhode Island Reds. Is it possible for you to keep her in your home? Close by to watch and observe? Put her in a box, just keep feeding and watering and see if she improves.
 
I'm keeping a watch on her. She still acts a little dizzy and sways on her feet, but most of the time she prefers to sit. I am still worried. Although, she still acts herself and tries to follow me in hopes of snuggles.

Searching for unsteady gait and preferring to sit brought me to a chicken disease called Gumboro. Some birds make a complete recovery, so let's hope that that is what yours is doing. Keep her isolated though, until you have read up about it and seen if it seems to fit what you see.
