Won't Walk falls forward

Sometimes they will drink on their own if you hold a small cup or scoop up to their beak. I sometimes add water to the chicken feed to make a watery much which some will take. Scrambled egg and tuna are other things they will est in small amounts. Does she move both her legs and wings? Can she lift her head?
 
Do you have chicken feed? I would take out the cat food, since it has way too much protein, and put chicken feed in with her. Sorry about your pullet, but you may be seeing signs of Mareks disease. Hopefully it is not, but her symptoms and her age would make it probable. Other hens may attack a chicken that shows signs of Mareks, so she needs to be kept separate in a dog crate, but she can remain with them. It is possible that they hurt her, perhaps jumped on her back, which has affected her legs, but that is only a guess. Giving the B vitamins and helping her to eat and drink are good. Mushy chicken feed with a lot of water added is sometimes a good way to get water into them. What do her poops look like? Here is some information on Mareks:

Today I cleaned out her kennel put fresh bedding in it and she is just sitting in her poop. Its a tan color. I cleaned it off of her, checked her vent-shes not laying yet. I took her outside to see if she could stand and she cant. She curls her toes up and just falls over on her side. I did put Nutridrench in her water and more mushy chicken food.
