Hawk attack

If she can't get around good enough to eat and drink, then......
If limp is really bothering them by inhibiting their normal activities too much, I will isolate them in a crate to 'force' rest for a day or two. Letting them out late in day, an hour before roost time, to give them a stretch and evaluate their mobility, then decide if they need another day and put them back in crate off roost after dark. Repeat stretch and eval the next day until they are better. Keep crate in coop so bird can remain 'with' the flock.

Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.

Great advice thank you , I certainly will do that , I keep her inside tonight, but will do as you stated tomorrow. As I will be in the run most of the day repairing the net. So this does not happen again.

It is a good idea to keep her isolated, but let her visit with the others so she doesn't loose her place in the pecking order, which could cause bullying.

I have never considered this.
