Americauna chicken with a broken back

[spyderpayne]

My chicken is about 2 months old and recently won't walk or hold up her own weight. Her legs still work but won't stand. I think my full grown peking ducks stepped on her. I have tried to put her in a bird cage and supported her in a laying position so she can eat and drink. She seems to not be in pain until you move her onto her left side. We give her a bath everyday because she poops on herself and smells. Is there anything we can do? I have 4 little kids that have pampered her and tried to make her a sling and a wheelchair out of legos and Kinects!. ( (They want to invent a line of chicken rehabilitation supplies!) I know we have spoiled her and become very attatched to her.
