A friend of mine brought me a hen today, with what seems to be a dislocated hock joint. She has feeling and movement in her thigh, but below the hock her leg just hangs limp. She doesn't use it at all, and she couldn't move her toes to grasp my finger. I felt the joint, it isn't swollen but it does feel disconnected. Also, the skin above her thigh is green? Thoughts? Any help is appreciated.
 
Sounds like your diagnosis could be quite reasonable. The green is likely bruising. Dislocated or broken... my birds are livestock so... for you it is up to what you want to do with the girl.
 
Put some bandage on her leg and let her rest. She deserves a chance.
