My Columbian Wyandotte Bantam 6 M/O pullet suddenly began to sit all the time. Upon closer examination, I found that she could barely walk, taking very short steps, and seemingly on her tip toes. She goes about 3 ft. and has to sit. She is eating and drinking but I don't know what to do to help her. I isolated her and tried soaking in warm salt water and massaging her legs and feet. Am giving her the vitamin & electrolyte mix in her water. She's been like this for about a week now. Any suggestions?

Update! As she was sitting a while ago, her legs were sticking out in front of her and the right leg and foot were shaking/trembling. Please help
