Weak and can't stand up--what could be wrong?

Quote:
This sounds like Marek's, or botulism. Possibly a vitamin deficiency. One hen, then 2 not using their legs. Same symptoms? A pattern maybe developing?
 
Only one of my girls is having trouble. Today makes two weeks since this started and she seems better but not well. She holds her head up fine now and her leg is underneath her. She was holding her wing out to the side for a few days but now shes keeping it close in to her body. Now I'm noticing that the leg that she wasn't holding out in front of her is hooked up over the wing. If I unhook it she puts in right back up there. Don't know if that is just how they sit when the rest or not. Is this normal?

Thanks
