How bad is it? the question is somewhat vague.. But normally yes, If you want to supplement her with vitamin b tho start off at low dosages, if it is a deficiency that has built up over time, her body wont be used to b vits anymore, slowly build it up again. With deficiencies it can take a while before they go back to normal. It normally takes as long as it took to build up.

She is improving. It is not real bad. She can sometime use leg properly. I have started all my chickens on a vitamin and electrolytes water supplement.
Should I do more for my hen that is affected?

What are the symptoms? There are several B vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B12, and folic acid. Riboflavin (B2) deficiency can caused curled under toes, and walking on hocks. The sooner it is treated, the better the chances of it responding to vitamins. B vitamins are found in many poultry vitamins, liver, and ground beef, but beware that Poultry NutriDrench does not contain riboflavin.

I started a multi vitamin that mixes in water. I got it at Fleet Farm. Contains lots of vitamins
