Chicken attacked by others/ can’t stand or sit up

[Heather Rogue]

Found our chicken beat up pretty good by the other chickens. We brought her inside and put her in a dog crate, kept her warm and in darker area to calm down. We treated her wound with vetericyn and it’s healing. She had a baseball size bruise around it that is going away. Her wound/bruise is under her wing, in front of thigh on her side. She’s eating (pellets and bread). Hard to tell if drinking so I soaked some bread in water and she ate that. It’s been 3 days and she’s not sitting up or standing. She just lays on her side. Her legs look ok…no obvious breaks. She tries to get her legs under her to sit up but just struggles for a bit then gives up. Thoughts???

not totally sure, but from a similar experience I had, try to keep her close to the other chickens (I separated my wounded chicken for too long and they wouldn't accept her back into the coop) and maybe every now and then put her in you're yard where she has room to get up and walk. also, she might be in a smaller crate where she has no reason to walk. but then again I'm not 100% sure on this, so sorry if this doesn't help much.

Hi just wondering if your chicken is better now. A similar thing happened to mine and her legs seem weak but not broken.
