Help!!

Could she have been stung or bitten by something poisonous?
I checked her all over and I dont see any punctures or scratches on her. My first thought was she had been attacked by something so I looked her all over. Next was egg bound, but shes not laying yet and i dont feel an egg, so i ruled that out. Definitely not wry neck either.. I'm stumped
 
If you think she is egg bound put a heating pad under her
No I dont think she is egg bound and I dont think she ate anything poisonous. Shes sneezing and after a long day it appears to be respiratory, but she is unable to move at this point :(
 
I am sorry about your pullet. At 5 months if she cannot walk, I would consider Mareks disease as a possible cause. Botulism is also possible, from eating something dead or found in a compost bed. The sneezing may be coincidental. Mareks can cause a decrease in immunity that makes them vulnerable to common diseases. Give her supportive care with fluids and watery food offered to her. Keep her warm and separated so that she doesn’t get bullied. Where are you located? If you lose her you may want to get a necropsy to find out what she has.
