I have a hen who has been having trouble walking. She mostly hops on one leg, and I believe the other is broken. I heard that they will heal themselves, but she’s been laying on her side a lot, and I’m worried it may impact how her leg bones mend. Anyway, she is a hatchery quality black link, so about the size of a Plymouth, and she is one year old. I would measure her to get dimensions for her wheelchair/ sling, but I don’t want to stress her out. Does anyone know how big I should make her wheelchair/ how long she should be in it each day/ how I can make it tomorrow in shop class?

Edit to say she is isolated in the coop, as I think it is safer for her in that condition, and all my able bodied hens roost in the trees.
 
Consider one of these. Purchase, or make. Then figure out a frame with casters to support this hammock. This way chicken can move around. The hammock will keep pressure/weight off the injured foot.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :hugs
