I checked her over again this morning, and I could not find anything visibly wrong with her.That's good. Is she settling in o.k.?
I'd check her over again really well to see if there's any bruising, a broken nail, swelling, etc.
Hopefully this is just a sprain and she'll recover with some rest.
Looks good!I checked her over again this morning, and I could not find anything visibly wrong with her.
I set her up in a large wire dog crate for the day so that she can have a little bit more space and be outside but still separated from the flock and not be able to move around too much.

She did do a little sunbathing while I was getting that set up
