HELP!! Silkie chicken fell from apartment balcony

Aight, so, I gave her splinters (hopefully I did an okay job), and drop-fed her some water. I laid her on her back, and she’s currently sleeping. I’m still really worried, but hopefully she’ll get better. As for the internal injuries... I can only wait it out and see. Any tips or advice during this period of time?
 
The best advice you received was to bring her in and keep her warm and comfortable. Take care when drop feeding her so you don’t aspirate her. Did she swallow on her own? After she has rested, you can try gently dipping her beak in water to see if she’ll drink. Vitamins and electrolytes in her water might help, too. How old is this chick? I’m trying to get a feel for her weight in that far of a fall.

She’s 2 months old— We realised she had a fever, so we had fed her some water with dissolved aspirin. What’s unusual is, her chest feels very soft and mushy... Is that normal?

That doesn't sound good.. almost sounds like could be some internal injuries. I'm sorry, if it were me I'd probably cull honestly.

how is she doing
 
Poor thing. If she were a hen she might have flown better. If she doesn't get better, probably put her down. If you could afford it, a vet might be able to save her.

Block off the balcony real good this time

Hugs :hugs
