She is pretty chill as she is kind of old and she doesn’t do much but everytime she tries to walk she starts limping and flapping her wings. Her left leg is still responsive to some touch and she will curl her toes a little bit but she can’t really move it. The other leg that is working is shaking or vibrating.

How old is she?I’ve been hand feeding her as she doesn’t eat
This picture was when she was first given to me. The woman I got her from told me it was normal she’d look like this because of her pure brahama breed. But I don’t think it’s normal she’d ca barely see.How old is she?
The color of the beak is a natural horn coloring.
Can you please get a current photo of her face and eyes, the inside of her beak too?
In the photo below, you mention that was a few months ago. She was unwell in that photo.
She has swelling of the facial tissue. Do you have respiratory disease within your flock, any lice/mites? Canker inside the beak? Did you introduce new birds a few months ago?
I'd work on hydration. Get some electrolytes into her along with some mushy feed. She's not eating well on her own, please look closely inside the beak for Canker, Mucous or Yellow-White Pasty material.
What is her crop like? What's her poop like?

I don’t know how old exactly she is as she was given to me for free, I do know she doesn’t lay eggs anymore so I’d say 3-4 or more years.
I'd like to see her face currently.And I think they had mites but it’s impossible to get rid of mites here in Florida. I swear they’re everywhere.
Her crop is pretty “airy” or it feels like it’s full of water. I’m giving her feed and it’s semi filling it up. I try to give her water as much as possible.
