I had my neighbors dogs bust through my fence and attack my chickens in Wednesday only 1 got the worst. She has most of her tail feathers missing and pretty sure broke her leg it was limp like dangling limp. We splinted it and she is inside in a dog crate. We are keeping her in a quiet dark room. On the day it happens she consular her mouth open and seemed to have difficulty swallowing. But she is eating and drinking. Most people have told me she is in a severe shock to only check on her every couple of hours in the first 24 hours and she should stop. We are now on Sunday she is still eating and drinking but still opens her mouth just not as much. She actually layed 2 eggs. She does try and make a sound (clucking) but barley comes out. What could be wrong with her has anyone else had something like this happen? It will not allow me to post a video so I have a picture not as good but it’s something.

i don't know what to do for the mouth problem but does she have any nasty dog bites
if so go to some feed store and look for silver honey
a lot of times its at horse stores

We checked her we don’t see anything there was no blood anywhere on her or all the feathers she lost. I’m sure she is in pain just from the leg alone. I was told not to giver her baby aspirin because we don’t know if she has any internal injuries.
 
call a vet if you can and if you love this chicken you might want to take her there, but it might cost $500 or more just to treat depending on the injury's
