Help what is wrong

I do not think this is a vitamin deficiency. With vitamin deficiencies, you’re more likely to see pale birds and wry necks.

I think this is a leg injury. She may have either broken her leg or slipped a tendon.
Between a slipped tendon and broken leg it would be a slipped tendon not a broken leg because I checked her leg and it had no broken bones
 
Chickens do better on a 20% all flock feed or a 16% layer feed. 30% protein, though better for game birds could have too much protein and possibly lead to kidney disease or gout. She could have an injured sciatic nerve in her affected leg, or a vitamin or mineral problem. Do you have a rooster, or could another bird have injured her? Are your roosts very high? I would give her half of a human vitamin B or super B complex tablet once a day, crushed into some moist food or egg. Limit her activity inside a wire crate with food, water, and plenty of shade near the others. Observe her ability to walk each day. Here is a good price on B complex:

Ok
 
Can you get photos of her standing from behind?

Any photos of when she was younger that shows how she stood?

How old is she?

I agree, the 30% feed is too high of protein for long term use, the feed instructions say to feed to 10weeks of age, but up to 16weeks. So I'd start transitioning to a lower protein chick starter or all flock type feed that is 18-22% protein.

Do you raise Gamebirds (Quail, Pheasant, Turkey, etc.)?

The leg that is out - can you feel the joint to see if the tendon is slipped out of place?
Yes I can get pictures from behind

No photos from a young age

Like 4-5 months

I will start moving down on protein

No I don’t raise gamebirds

Yes I can check for a slipped tendon

Poor girl.

I hope you are able to fix the leg. I'd certainly start her on the vitamin therapy as suggested.

With her being a bit older, if the tendon is slipped, it may be harder to try to correct, but it would be worth trying anyway.
