Injured chicken

[sarahjane967]

My bird was hit on the road by a 4x4 and left for dead, it's been almost 24hrs and still alive, but she is unable to stand up, I've checked for broken bones and can't seem to find any, she's drinking ok and seems very alert, I've an appointment with vet this afternoon.
Any advice would be appreciated

Welcome to BYC, so sorry to hear about your bird! Just keep her in a box or small crate, ideally in an area that is not cold, and see what the vet says. Hopefully she will recover.

Make sure she is warm enough - please update after you see the vet. We get very concerned about chickens (etc.) on here. Hope she will recover fully.

Just wondered how thing went...

Thanks for your concern, was at vets, no broken bones but maybe damage to spinal cord, prescribed anti inflammatory to see if she improves(hopefully) just see how she does over weekend if no improvement she'll have to be put to sleep,

Hoping for the best for her
