Broken wing? Help! RIP clover:(

[Wyorp Rock]

It's good that she's able to move the wing and flap it.

I'd just examine it for any abrasions or broken skin. Hopefully she's just bruised and sore.

Let me know what you find out.

Update. She still has a very droopy wing but she can flap it and when she stretches she also extends her wing. I did not see any broken skin but at the same time she was being very squirmy. She seems slightly uncomfortable to the touch of her wing and I might need a second pair of hands to help me examine her properly. Other than that she is acting like a normal chicken.

I think I'd give her a few days to see if she improves on her own. If it's really sore, she's going to let it hang.

Will she get better though?

Worst case scenario I can take her to the vet but I think she’ll be OK.

Hard to know.
If it's broken, then it would be best to set it, your vet can xray and tell you.

If it's just badly bruised and sore, usually it will get better on its own. Sort of like when you twist your ankle, it's sore and tender for a while, but in time it heals and gets better.

I have a barred rock that got its wing chewed to a stump, got some advice here. i removed the stumped and she healed up just fine. If the wing can now be moved on your bird id just keep treating her for shock and eventually get her back with the other ladies. You might need to adjust the roosts for her if that wing isnt in tip top shape. my nemo has a short ladder i need to replace with a roost ladder.

Chickens are quite resilient i have learned.

Yesterday her wing was a little more droopy. I did not see any bones sticking out or broken skin.

What makes you think the wing is broken

Because It is drooping.

Here she is.
