Hen limping with curled toes

Any change in her condition over the last week?

If she isn't eating well you may need to make some food torpedoes and pop them into her.

Sorry if you said earlier, but what age is she?

I started her on b12 yesterday and b12 complex today she cannot stand up at all, so she has been literally laying down the whole time

Can she move that leg at all, or her toes? Can she still move her other leg?

The B complex has B12, so you don’t need to give both. Can she move her legs and toes? If you lift her up to standing, is she able to move the legs? I hope the B complex starts to help. It is pretty common to use it in case of a riboflavin deficiency. Is she eating and drinking? She could have a spinal injury, an internal reproductive infection, or even Mareks, but hopefully, she will get better.

What state are you in? If you should lose her one day, it would be good to check with your state vet lab about how to get a necropsy. They are good at diagnosing what was wrong with her. Let us know how she gets along.
