sorry i can't offer advice as i haven't come across this ailment before, the only chicken we have had that couldn't stand was a cobb and she ate too much, got fat, and her legs couldn't support her, apart from that this is a new one on me, sorry.

What size cockerel have you got?
If he is a large breed perhaps he could be squashing her.

I wouldn't have thought it was the cockerel then
Could she have cought her leg somewhere? or is she just old?
