Give us the following information. The more you tell us, the better we will be able to help you.

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use

I am having a very hard time translating what your question is. Provide us with some more info and we will try to help.
 
well there are no symptoms at all though .. she is just hurt there is no blood or anything you can't see anything wrong on her she has gotten just a little thinner i think but not much i have tried treating her because i don't know what is wrong her poop is normal and if i take a pic she looks normal and i want to treat her because my baby silkies and ducks love her thinks she is their mom they sleep with here or under her she can't stand up at all sometimes she just falls over and can't get back up people said it could be up in her hip and their bedding is shavings and no roost because she can't use one and she sleeps with the babys she eats layer and drinks out of a dish at night or drinks out of a water thing outside ... she is just hurt some wheres where you can't see anything wrong .. she falls and everything thats all you can see thats wrong and i saw a little bit of runny nose but thats another thing does that help any ?
 
Answer ALL the questions and please use some punctuation. Thank you.
 
there are no symptoms there is a injury up in her hip or something , she can walk sometimes and other times she just sits in one spot all day until my roo goes and tries to get on her , no blood and no broken bones , the other birds are all fine , the bedding is shavings and she can't roost , she has been like this for a month or a month in a half , she is a dark cornish she is a little thinner not really her, and idk her weight its about 6 or so pounds, i don't know of anything that got her like that and when we first noticed the other birds were attacking her and picking on her because she was a dominate one , and thats about it
 
Any history of Marek's in your flock? Is she limping? Is she laying?

Any chance of separating the roo from her so she gets a break from him?
 
the roos don't bug her a lot and she doesn't limp she just falls down and stays there unless she gets scared the she runs and stays wherever .. this is the first time and no she isn't laying eggs
