Here is the latest pictures....she has improved greatly and I'd never have believed she could make it. She is exercising her leg and as of yesterday she started trying to stand on it more - this am she was standing when I checked in to feed her. She's still contained in a bin in my laundry room and she still prefers to eat out of my hand....pretty amazing as she was not a pet in the true sense of the word and they all rarely would eat from my hand their treats and never let me pet them. She started talking some this morning and seems much better. I'm still spraying some Vetrycin but have cut back and changed from Neosporin cream to ointment. The wound is still gaping and that allows it to drain and heal from the inside out. She is aware of things and when she poops she moves away from it.
MANY thanks to all the help on this site! I could not have gotten this far (9 days) without your assistance and advice. I had really thought I was going to have to put her out of her misery. Oddly enough, another bit of inspiration was reading about Headless Mike.....someone told me about that and I didn't believe it....personally, I think that is a little sick, but I figure if a roo can live without his head, my girl might make it with a gash.
Chickens sure are tough and I'll try to keep you guys up to date - and of course - ANY ADVICE WELCOME!!!
