Hey everyone!

I have a hen who on June 19th could not maintain balance at all. We were out of town but the person watching her separated her. I watched our camera in the coop and she was absolutely fine on the 18th but then the 19th she was flopping all over and falling down. When we got home I gave her nutridrench and she was able to put pressure on both legs and walked but with a limp. She was limping on her right leg for a while. Then it switched to her left. Over the past couple of days she has gotten much worse. She isnt able to stand at all on her left leg. She is eating and drinking no other symptoms besides her leg issue. I got rooster booster vitamin and electrolytes with lactobacillus and gave that in her water but still nothing. I am at a loss. I figured she injured her leg getting off the roost and would recover but I"m not so sure. I got b12 and have been giving that to her to see if that will do anything but it hasn't. Any suggestions? She is an austrolorp that I got last year as a pullet from someone.

I have tried to attach videos but it will not let me
