I need some advice!!

One of my chickens was leaning to it's right side and couldn't keep her balance.
Is your hen currently laying? Sometimes "leg" issues are caused by something internal pressing on the sciatic nerve making it painful/difficult to use the leg and that something can be an egg stuck in the oviduct. Unless you're sure she's not laying I'd give her a human calcium citrate tablet and a soak in a warm bath just in case she has a stuck egg (and it won't hurt if that's not the issue.)
 
Thank you so much. She is walking on it a little bit today, but I still have her separated in a smaller coop. She didn't lay any egg since yesterday afternoon, but I will definitely do that tomorrow morning.

I want to thank everyone for all their comments to help me and my kids out. I really appreciate it!!!!!

My duck seems to be doing fine today, but I'll still keep an eye on her for the next couple days.
