Hello, again! I have another hen with some issues. She is an almost 2 year old golden laced Wyandotte. I did treat this girl for bumblefoot a while back. She is eating, drinking, and acting normally. I have noticed that she is walking almost upright now. She is not egg bound and I haven't found any symptoms of water belly. She does have a pressure sore on her belly that I would assume is from her waddling/roosting issues. It was inflamed and I have had her on powdered poultry antibiotics for a week. What can I give her to help strengthen her legs and possibly correct posture? She is a fighter, and I don't want to cull unless absolutely necessary. Could she just be like this from now on and still live a somewhat normal life? She has stopped laying, and I am okay with that as long as it doesn't cause issues for her.
 
Photos?

Sounds like she may have a reproductive problem. I'd start by giving her Extra Calcium for a week to see if she's able to expel an egg.
Calcium Citrate+D3 can be found at Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1 tablet daily, just pop it into her beak and let her swallow.
