We have a chicken (8 month old Easter egger) who we found hiding in the garage and she was frozen like a statue and when we lured her out it seemed like one of her legs wasn't working well. She tried walking some and stumbled, but can stand fine. She can still fly and her wings are fine. We brought her inside and She just sat frozen for two hours like a statue didn't eat or drink or move around at all..any ideas what that could be?
 
Leg issues can be caused by many things including diseases, vitamin deficiencies, or injuries. A picture or video may help someone to get a better idea of what the problem is.
 
Update: She stayed inside last night and got nice and warm. This morning she was back to her normal self and is eating and drinking and walking around with no signs of leg issues, etc. We are going to keep an eye on her for a few more hours and give electrolytes and a scrambled egg, but the best we can come up with is she went into shock after a predator run-in yesterday.
