Our chicken, a Japanese Bantam, was scared and flew headfirst into a window. We weren't there when it happened, our chickens live with a friend right now, but they said she hit it very hard. She didn't stand up for about 12 hours. She can now stand up (it happened Thursday night) and is steady on her feet, but can't really walk. She isn't panting, her pupils look fine. She's still very puffed up. We haven't been able to get her to eat, I am going to give her some Nutri-Drench and keep offering food. We also got some probiotics for her and some electrolytes to put in her water, which she drinks well when I dip her beak. Is there anything else I should be doing for her?

Thanks!
 
Okay - I need to revise/add that her pupils actually don't look fine, they are very big. However she did just stand and eat on her own, so that's a great sign, I think. I'm mostly wondering if I should treat her with Vitamins (like when a bird has Wry Neck, although she doesn't seem to) or just take care of her while she hopefully heals.
