UPDATE:

I have quarantined her from the others. She is drinking water but it seems she cannot walk. She is pulling herself around. Her right wing is droopy.

I don't want to alarm you but you might want to look up Mareks, I hope it's not this but would be a good idea to read about it so you can rule it out..

I am sorry about your hen.

You have done the right thing seperating her from the rest of your flock. I have no idea where you are, but if it is cold she needs to be kept warm. Have you tried getting her to eat? Maybe some scambled egg or her favorite treat?

What are you feeding them? Vit B deficiency can show up as leg problems.

I hope someone who has more experience in this regard will come to your rescue.

Best wishes.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately we lost the hen. I'm afraid it might have been Mereck's. I have a friend who is an Avian vet and will update him tomorrow. I need to know if a necropsy is needed, or if I should just bury the bird
