Whats going on with my leghorn?

[Theleghornchick]

I own multiple brown leg horns that I raised as chicks and have had for a year and suddenly one stopped walking and just won't stand up or eat or drink, she was perfectly fine this morning and was acting normal, they are currently on a diet of layer feed and some added corn, I'm not sure what to do and I'm really worried I have gone ahead and set up a temporary spot for her update she has started having heavy breathing and is making very small clucks in occasionally, but has managed to turn herself around, was able to rule out her having a stuck egg. Recently she was introduced to a rooster.

Welcome to BYC. Do you have a rooster who might have hurt while mating or fighting? I would separate her in a dog crate with food and water within reach. Human vitamin B complex has riboflavin, and 1/2 tablet daily crushed in food or given into her beak to swallow can help if she has a riboflavin deficiency. Can she move her legs or her toes? What happens when you lift her up to stand? Could you post a picture of her? Is she having normal droppings? Does she lay eggs? If you have any calcium or Tums, you might try giving her a tablet orally in case she is egg bound. What does her vent look like? Here is a good buy on b complex:

Is she hunched over? Can she move the foot?
Cut out the corn, it's a treat not a everyday food. It's not healthy for every day.

I had a hen that had egg peritonitis. She couldn't stand correctly and was very sick. I took her to a vet and that was the diagnosis. I have also had white leghorn chicks that developed a type of paralysis. But they were about 4 weeks when it set in.

I did recently introduced a new rooster, she can move her legs and toes only when lifted and not very much, once set down she lays on her side for a second then attempts to adjust herself, eggs have been normal with good shells, checked her and was able to rule out stuck egg, feces has been slightly watery lately.

I'd try getting extra Calcium into her.
