Help! 3rd day with chickens ever and dog bite. 100% novice

You're doing great. That manual Coach723 linked for you is really good so when you have a read of it I'm sure that will help you out with the wing.
Chickens don't show pain the way we do. One thing they will often do if they are in pain is go off eating. They can also sometimes go mute if in a lot of pain. But other than that, you may not even know something hurts. So it's great you copped her wing is injured - the poor thing. She's in good hands :)
 
Good morning all! Little update! today is the first day I feel like she is doing really well. I woke up to some chatter in her pen in my living room and she was really active. her water wasnt touched but she is getting a fair amount of liquid from the medicine. The wound smell is completley gone and i can see it is closing up. I'm still not wrapping the broken wing because it gets cleaned 3-4 times a day but starting tomorrrow it will be getting wrapped. Also I think I will take the wall out of her segregated area and let her join the flock tomorrow.\
