Broken leg/Drifting asleep/Drooping wing

[Snok]

My Sebright 3 days ago broke her leg, ever since I've kept her separate in a cage with food and water. Her broken leg has got to a point she can't move, her left wing is drooping and she is continuously drifting off to sleep. Is there anything I should give her or do to her?

Welcome To BYC

How old is she?
Do you have photos?

Any idea how she broke the leg - can you feel a break? Have you tried splinting the leg?
Has she been able to get to food/water since she was injured?
Is vet care an option?

How did she break her leg? Was it a bad wound or did she actually break her leg like break a bone or claw or something?

She didn't break her bone. She hurt it when my large rooster attempted to mount her, I hadn't realized until morning, and when I did realize she had fell of a high roost onto the ground.

She's around 10 months, I'll take some photos now of her. I can't feel a break, and I haven't tried splinting yet. She's had fresh food and feed, and she's been drinking water. I don't think the vet would be an option, as I live far away from the closet one.

Oh.

She should be fine, my hens sometimes limp from the roosters.. don't let the rooster get to her until shes fully recovered. I don't think you have to seek any medical attention, just keep an eye on her and keep her separated.

This is her, and a close up of her foot. Another thing I forgot to mention is that she sometimes drools and she tends to lift her head up and start panting (It's hot where I am but she usually doesn't do this).

She is not well at all and she's not "fine".
Keep her separated. Even IF she recovers, she should not be with a large rooster. Plan on having housing for her.

The drooling is very concerning.
Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.
She may have suffered severe injury from the rooster and falling, hard to know.
The way she is laying and some of her other symptoms reminds me of Marek's disease. Could be stress induced symptoms.

I would get some B-Complex and give her 1/4 tablet a day. Make sure she's drinking well and eating.
Placing her in a sling may help keep her more upright and comfortable if she will tolerate it. She does need to be monitored while in the sling.
Give her a few days to see if she improves.

Thank you, she's free ranged so she is usually far away from the large rooster but one day he just random chased and mounted her. Her crop is emptying every night, I've already checked her, her beak smells fine. She's eating right now and I make sure she drinks. I'll try the sling, she's lying down normally now. I'll see if I can buy B-Complex.

I think she should recover slowly on her own. Just make sure not to let her out too much cuz if other chickens chase her around she can hurt her leg even more.
Sebrights are small, so they usually recover fast from injuries. Wait a few days to see if it's getting better/

Good luck

I think she'll be fine if she's eating and drinking. A vet would only be necessary if you see it getting worse or not recovering at all.

Good luck

Has she laid her first egg yet? If she lays eggs, she might be egg bound or have an egg broken in her? I had an aggressive rooster and even After mounting he would just stand on the hen and she would be pressed to the ground, this led to too much pressure on her and an egg broke inside her which caused her to limp, pant, and more, and she eventually died a few days later because of this
