Hi.
This is our first time raising chickens. We have a golden comet pullet, who is the runt. She is probably 6 weeks old. She had pasty butt the day after bringing them home. Yesterday, she was listless and her feet seemed paralyzed. She has been removed from the flock; the others were stepping on her. She will eat and drink if she's close to enough. She cannot really walk because her toes are curled up. Her breast seems swollen like a water balloon. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
 
Welcome To BYC

Can you post photos of her, her feet and her poop?
What do you feed?
Do you provide grit for your chicks?

The breast being swollen like a water balloon sounds like she has a crop that is not emptying. I'd read the article below and treat that symptom accordingly.

Have you treated for Coccidiosis or anything else?
