Here she is.

She can definitely move it. I found her at the top of the roost which is about 2 feet off the ground

It's good that she can move it.

Does she seem to be pulling it in better than she was?

Maybe a little bit. It seems slightly more droopy but she can stretch it and flap it.

Someone jumped up to the roost!

Do you know which bone is broken? Are there any wounds?

 

[casportpony]

there is no wounds. just she wont lift up her wing

can you tell what bone is broken?

 

[casportpony]

I don't know what bone it is.

Can you feel a fracture?

I would have the sugar water available to her. If she is resting don't wake her up cause she won't drink that way most likely but have it available if she wakes up. That should be the first step then hopefully the experts will weigh in. I don't have experience with broken bones but I have dealt with my share of raccoon attacks.

How is she doing?

I don’t think she slept the whole night. She is now in the coop that her and her sister were in and she is sleeping. Her wing still is sagging. I will get some pictures now. If it is broken what do I do?

If it is indeed broken, vet care is best, but sometimes that's just not an option.

You would want to examine closely to make sure no bones are poking out of the skin. The wing bones are fine and small, so take your time looking her over, looking for any broken skin. You may see a bit of a greenish color, this is bruising, take note of those areas.

While you are looking her over, see if there's any other injuries that may have been missed and hidden under the feathers.

Here's a splinting guide that you may find helpful.

I’m not sure A vet is an option but we have an exotic vet just down the road from us.
