okay here is the problem: I have three hens that we brought down from my brothers farm that needed to be patched up , and one is missing a wing and only has a stump and her toes are swollen and she is missing half of her middle toe, another hen looks like , and acts like, her foot is broken, and the last one is missing her toenails and half her middle toe also and her foot is swollen up and it looks like infection is setting in , what can I do for them?and also the americanas are missing their beardfluff as if the flock pulled it out and did I mention they are not tame? the only one that is tame is the redstar

Wow, sounds like you have a lot to deal with! Hope you get them cleaned up before the infection sets in.
 
Can you please post some photos of each one and the wounds/concerns that you have?

Once we get those and can see what you are talking about it will be easier to offer suggestions. Damaged feet can be from a number of things, so unless you know what happened, it would just be speculation on our part.
 
I can't really tell how old it is seeing as she is flighty and I don't think it could be frostbite and I will try to get pictures

how long do you think the injuries will take to heal up?
It all depends on the extent of the injuries, if there's infection, the cause, the overall health of the chickens...there is no way to know how long it will take to heal.

Look forward to the photos of each one, hopefully we can make some suggestions and help you get these birds on the road to recovery.
