Around three in the morning I woke up because something had found it's way into my coop and tried to drag my hen out. It didn't succeed, but now my hen is hurt and I'm not sure what to do (I will be making sure the coop is well protected tonight!!).
As of right now I've separated her from the flock, and have food and water available (I've put some raw apple cider vinegar in her water, and oysters and diotamacious earth in her feed). Her left leg is completely limp and as far as I know she cannot walk on it. She managed to move a few feet when I wasn't around so I'm not sure if she's used her leg or just scooted awkwardly. For the most part she's been fairly perky, though right now she's sleeping.
I'm still debating going to the vet, as money is really tight right now and that would be really expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
