I don't know what happened, but she got injured while we were out of the house. When we came home, one of the other hens had gotten out and the faverolle was laying on her side on the ground. I didn't notice it until I realized she wasn't in her corner.
She was still alive somehow and I picked her up and put her back in the coop. I tried putting her in the nesting box that she usually retreats to, but she was opposed to it. She can't walk anymore, I think she has a leg injury that wasn't there during the first incident. The feathers were gone on her right leg and there was a large spot of dried blood. There was also dried blood on her comb.
I just know she's gonna be dead in the morning... And part of me hopes she is. She's been in so much pain this past month and I don't want her to suffer any longer.
I wish I could do more to help but I cant
