Ok- one of the SLW appears to have fractured her humerus. I currently have it in a "sling"

Oh no! Poor thing.
Have you posted in the emergencies thread? I know there are people who do have experience of broken bones in chickens.
I am afraid I don't have any experience - but I would worry your chicken is in pain.

He's 30 minutes late already. I will be impressed if he gets to the hotel. About 18 inches of snow and it's still coming.

She doesn't appear to be in much pain after I wrapped it. I followed this guide.

Crush some baby aspirin in water and force it down. Takes 3 or 4 weeks to heal.

Treat her kindly, poor girl. She needs you to help her.
