Broken Wing? Help :(

[Breakfast coop]

Hello there!

one of my chickens got chased and injured by a dog. She is walking around just fine but her wing is hanging a little but longer then the other one. Can anyone tell me what I can do for her? I was thinking about maybe wrapping it up close to her body. She is a really wild chicken so its hard to tell if she is in pain or just being skittish as usual. Any info will be appreciated!

This is the bad side and the other side is the side that isn't injured. I also put a pic of the backside so that you can see the difference and the hang of the feathers.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Definitely post this in our emergency section. If she did not injure it, this could be neurological. Sometime stemming from inside the brain. I hope you can get her back to good health soon.

Maybe she has a dislocation rather than a break. Is it at all likely you would take her to a vet? If she does have a break and it isn't tended to, it will heal the way it is now. If it makes her awkward or unable to fly, she loses her best chance of fleeing predators.
