Month old bantam cochin legs weak.

Im not sure whats wrong with her. She was fine yesterday. Running around and being a chicken. Today though she is just laying down. she will eat and acts fine. She just is wobbly when she walks. She got scared yesterday and tried to run through a fence. Could she maybe have bruised a wing or a leg? Her vent looks fine and she will let me bend her wings and legs around so I dont think anything is broken. Her coop mates are all fine. She has always liked to dust bathe and squat. But she always runs to me when I come up. Thats the only way I knew something was wrong. Any ideas?

So it most likely isn't Merecks. Whew! I think she just damaged her leg a little. She can stand on it and move it backwards, but she can't lift it forward to take a step yet. Does anyone know, other than keeping her by herself and natural healing, if there is anything I can do for her? Pain meds? She isnt making a fuss, so I don't think she is in too much pain. Eating and drinking just fine. I was just concerned about a dislocation, but she doesnt seem like it bothers her for me to move her leg around.
