Hen limping REALLY BAD

Can you take a video of how she walks and upload it to YouTube or Vimeo with a link posted here? If she is injured, a vet might be able to xray the leg, but if she has Mareks, you would need to get her tested or have necropsy by your state vet if you lose her, to get a diagnosis. A chicken sling might be of help to get her in front of food and water, and to keep her cleaner. Here is a link about slings:

She is not walking now just flapping her wings trying to get around, the leg previously lame is the best in shape. I can’t get a video but this is how she’s sits now , the leg sticking out is the one that she use to be able to stand on. When she drinks it seems to make her flap even more

Feel on her spine do you feel any bumps. Is she vaccinated for markets? How old is she? Have you had anyone die recently with symptoms similar to markets?
 
I have to revive this thread, she has gotten so worse and beginning to think she has mareks 😭 her other leg is not working probably anymore, her wings are holding her up but they are also limp, she layed a egg yesterday, 99% of the time She is sitting, still eating and drinking but she’s is thin, smelly poops, her pupils are normal and she’s can see. It can’t be though because the only reason she was limping in the first place is because my friend dropped her! I am so confused 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry.
