Chicken walking wierd

[St3v3n31922]

For the past two weeks we've been treating a chicken from a predator attack the wound is healing but there's something else wrong with her. She walks like a penguin (before you say she's egg bound she is not I think she's using her tail for balance) we think she broken her wing or something bc there can't use them and sometimes her wings are sagging either there broken or bc the predator ripped off the feathers of the wing causing her to be off balance if it is bc of the feathers how long til she fully recovers?

Hi @St3v3n31922

Can you post some photos of how your hen is standing and her injuries or a video of your?

How old is she?
When was the last time she laid an egg?
Any swelling, bloat or feeling of fluid in the abdomen?
How are you treating her injuries?

Having "penguin stance" is sometimes associated with being "egg bound". Egg Bound is when a hen has an egg physically stuck or bound inside the oviduct. This is an emergency and a hen will usually stop pooping and can die within 48hours of the egg being stuck.

Another more common reason for having a "penguin stance" is when a hen is suffering from an internal laying/reproductive disorder like Egg Yolk Peritonitis, Ascites, cancer, tumors or salpingitis. This is when eggs, egg matter and/or a combination of fluids have accumulated in the abdomen of a hen. The abdomen can sag or look distended causing the hen to have a penguin appearance. Symptoms include - going off feed, lethargy, difficulty walking/lameness, weight loss, breathing difficulties and sometime runny poop that looks like egg.

If you have a vet that can examine her and xray the wing to see if there are any fractures, that would be a good idea.
