Hi everyone,
I have a hen not sure what happened seemed fine. Then monday night noticed she hadn't come out of the coop all day. She was laying there feet all curled up not moving. Got her out of the coop brought her in ac house got fluids in her. Yesterday she drank and ate some mash food in water. She pooped a couple of times. Today she is still eating and drinking and pooping but she is unable to get up. She can move one of her legs but not the feet. Any ideas what to do for her?
 
Welcome to BYC.
I am sorry you are having trouble with her. Let see if we can narrow things down for you.

What breed and age is she?
Any new birds in recently?

a mash mixed with a scratch. She just appears to be paralized now. She eats and drinks I took her out of the dog kennel for a while. She moves around with her wings. I can't put her back with the flock. What do I do with a paralized chicken? I wondered if it could be botulism because I gave them some left over meat out of the fridge but then isnt that fatal? And wouldn't the others have gotten it also? Really weird
 
I'm sorry.
It's a guessing game at this point, I would advise to get a necropsy performed, so you know what you are dealing with.
What state are you in?
