about 24 hours ago my chicken hurt its leg it is limping and unable to apply pressure to leg it is a little swollen on its knee join and heavily swollen in her thigh ( we can't tell if its broken or sprained) we have given her a proper amount of aspirin and Greek yogurt to keep any crop problems down. any suggestions?
 
I am sorry your bird isn't feeling well.
Can you post a few pictures of the area that is swollen?
 
Poor girl. Forced rest, by confining her to a crate or carrier (with the flock, if possible) would be good, too. You may also want to try a sling for her to sit in where her legs poke through holes and you cut a third hole below the vent so she can poop without sitting in it. I would also offer her a little extra protein to help her rebuild the damaged tissue. Good luck!
