First make sure it is an injury. Give her an 81mg Aspirin. NOT a child's Aspirin, they are sweetened with aspartame, which is toxic to chickens.
If the limp lessens or goes away, it is an injury and you would follow that protocol.
You can also give 400mg of Tumeric for a similar test.
If the limp persist, you're looking at a neurological issue. First off...start vitamin supplements and start investigating the cause. Most neurological ailments are caused by nutritional deficiency. A nutritional deficiency can be caused by poor diet, a virus or a parasite. You gotta play the blame game.
And look at her poop. It's a factor in diagnosis.
