overweight chicken can't walk well?

Yup, meat bird in all likelihood (always a possibility that a non-meat bird has an eating disorder but odds are it's a meat bird). Her best chance to live is somehow restricting her food intake and making sure she gets exercise. If it's very hot where you are she would benefit from being protected from the heat until she loses some weight. I personally think it's insane what we've done with breeding chickens to create these poor beings that gorge themselves to death. It may be that her heart is already compromised too much
