Hen with dislocated jaw

[Lady Dre]

I was letting my chickens out of their coop this morning and one of my hens decided to take a nose dive right in the dirt. She has dislocated her bottom jaw. She is no worse or wear, other then having a crooked face. I was hoping someone could suggest anything that I can do for her myself. Or will she by chance pop it back into place herself? I am going to leave her be for right now cause she doesn't appear to be in any pain. If I don't get any feedback I will just take her to the vet.

Going to the vet may be the best option, but here is a thread where they were able to fix the problem: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/570893/most-bizarre-injury-ive-ever-seen-dislocated-beak

I think my hen did the same thing, her mouth kind of hangs open, and her lower beak is just slightly to the left, evidently she's been getting something to eat. I've seen her drink but she just pecks at the food unable to pick anything up. She has been this way for a couple of weeks now and seems to be getting along just fine.

I have experienced this exact same thing. My chicken flew out of the coop and crash landed. Her beak is now crossed. I truly believe it is dislocated. Has anyone ever successfully corrected this? If yes, please explain. TYIA
