My chickens broken her wing and we've wrapped it up to heal. She looked like she was getting better yesterday but today she's not eating, she puts it in her mouth then drops it to the ground. I'm not sure what to do cause she'll completely dismiss earing veg but try to eat seed.
 
Does she have any breaks in the skin on her broken wing? Do you have a picture of how you wrapped her wing? Could it be too tight? Most chickens will try to eat wet chicken feed made fresh in a small bowl and scrambled egg. If still not eating try tuna or ground meat in small amounts. Could she have internal injuries making her not eat? How did she break it?
 
Where exactly on the wing is the broken bone?
Did the broken bone break through the skin?

If her humerus is broken, which is a pneumatic bone linked to her respiratory system she may be having breathing difficulties. If the humerus has pierced the skin then the likelyhood of respiratory infection is high.

Consider taking her to vet if this is possible.
