Yikes ! I hope she gets better, I'm in a similar situation:

I have a d'uccle that has the very similar symptoms (gradually getting lamer and lamer. she came inside for a week and got better to the point that she was standing back up ... then after a few days back out with her sisters she went back down hill - now she gets tucked in with them at night but is put back in her "box" during the day to keep her confined ...

I did vitamin/electrolytes and vitamin b complex (and then a couple drops of poly-vi-sol 1x a day) ... that helped her get better the first time

... the 2nd time ... I think she might have an infection - because she got her feet feathers pecked and she is warmer to the touch so I'm starting her on durymacin).

Good luck -

I would recommend Tylan50 or LA200.
