one of my silkie cannot stand up she is just laying on her side, and has been like this now for a few days i have seperated her and noticed scaly  flakylookin growth on her feet, any help please.  The other 2 of my pet chickens are fine

the scaly flaky looking growth may be linked to scaly leg mite but wouldn't have thought that would make her unable to stand up. Has she got a thorn or sting in her foot, check for bumble foot - perhaps a photograph of said growth may give us more of a clue also what age is she?
