How old are these injuries? If they are healed over, I really have no idea what you can do. Many people make house pets out of injured and are handicap. You might post a pic of this bird in the emergency section here on BYC and maybe someone has experience with chickens with this sort of issue....

Good luck with your bird. I hope she can manage in this condition.
 
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! X2 on post in the Emergencies forum, hope your chick heals.
 
And we're did u get all the pictures
If you have any pictures loaded in your pc, you can upload them to this page by clicking on that little icon that looks like a scene. (2 to the left of the smile face at the top of this box). That will lead you to your pc where you can browse and load pics here. :)
 
There have been other one legged chickens on BYC threads, usually from a predator attack and they have been able to get around very well. It is better to have them as a pet tho, so others in the flock don't attack or kill them.
