help me please.
i dont know what is wrong with her but my silver phoenix hen that i just got yesterday and i just put into a brand new coop flew down from the rafters that are about 7 foot high or so and her legs did something wrong and she hit the floor really hard. i think something happened to her.shes acting like she hit her chest and damaged something.

i have the cage i had her and her rooster in outside in the coop with them, and the rooster was calling her up there and she had a terriable time getting up onto the side of the cage.shes acting like it hurts her to flap her wings.i dont think her legs are broken because once she got onto the side of the cage her feet grasped it just fine.shes just acting really weird.she was fine before i took her out there but now shes acting off.

what do you think is wrong?

theres a picture of the cage she had a hard time getting onto.......

Can you keep her inside the cage, in the coop, with her rooster so she's not lonely? That way she won't panic, and will keep still and keep from injuring herself more. In the morning she may look at lot better. Chickens have remarkable powers of healing, but somewhat weak legs. Post again in the morning with how she is doing.
