Is she having any twisting of her neck or walking backwards or in circles? She could possibly being showing signs of Mareks disease, but before deciding on that, I would do some reading and take your time, providing her with support and watching for other symptoms or improvement. First though, I would treat her with poultry vitamins in her water, or dissolve a B-complex tablet in a gallon of water daily for her. Are her toes curled or is she lying in a certain position? Here are a couple of links about Mareks:
