My hen is limping, her comb turned purple and she doesn't eat, drink and move a lot. She's 1/1.5 years old. People say that she has sick liver. Can i give her turmeric and expect it to bring her back to health?

Sadly, no, tumeric is not going to save her.
Can you post pictures of her?

Its the gray one. Thats a photo from yesterday but today she's doing the same and sitting in the same nest. When standing on the ground ALWAYS the middle finger of her limping leg (i suppose) is like she was trying to put in in the dirt.
 
The only thing turmeric will do is reduce inflammation. Can you take her to a vet confirmation of a liver disease? “People say” is pretty vague and there are a plethora of other issues that it could be as well.

Sadly vet isn't an option. She strated limping all of a sudden and then it was only getting worse + rooster kept mating her as she couldnt escape.
 
She's still alive, but the comb and wattles are in worse condition, we got rid of a rooster which was mating her and making her leg worse and she started walking much better and spending more time with other hens but today it was below freezing (-12 C degrees at the morning) so we kept chickens in the coop and when i got in the coop i saw her lying on the ground while other hen was standing on her and scratching!! She didn't even move when i took the bully one off. She's isolated in my basement where it is warm, she has water, food and a crate with straw to sleep on. This whole bullying that she got today has really weakened her, i mean she can stand but doesn't move a lot etc. Now she's sleeping because its night here. What should i give her? And when it gets warm and chickens will be on the run should i put her with them? She always wanted to go to hens and not be isolated :( What about making her some electrolites?
 
And could i give a bit of turmeric and maybe oregano to her feed to make her stronger?
PS. she got very thin, i don't know if she weights one kg and recently had problems with jumping to her nest which didn't use to be problem a few weeks ago.
