Hen caught in rat trap!!! What to do now??

[bantambonanza]

My Scot's Dumpy bantam hen somehow got out of the Omlet netting around their coop, and got caught in a rat trap!!! I'll take her to the vet tomorrow as soon as it's open, but is there anything I can/should do tonight?? Her leg was caught just above the "elbow" joint, there's a wound and the area below is swollen all the way down to her toes. I couldn't feel an obviously break but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fracture. She's back in with the rest, has had a treat of corn and is happy to eat and drink normally. She's limping, not wanting to put weight on it which is understandable for sure, but I don't want to stress her by boxing her unless her moving would be definitely making it worse? I'm not sure what's best, which is why I'm asking here, thanks so much for reading and let me know what you think.

ouch!! shes probably badly bruised, do you have frozen pea bags? or cold rag will be ok, that may help some. hope theres no cuts, keep it clean.

Thanks! She does have a small cut on the back of her leg, I'm waiting until she roosts for the night (only an hour away now) and then I'll get her, clean it more, put some anti-bacterial cream on her and bandage it up. On the advice of a friend, I'll keep her bandaged for a couple days to keep it clean, changing it often (plus she'll inevitably pick it off!). I'm trying to also limit her stress generally, which is why I'll wait until she roosts before doing anything further. She's a sweet hen, but none of my girls really like being handled and would rather run a mile than be picked up!

Hows her leg?
