Hen with injured leg! Dislocation? Help!

[Tookie]

Cocoa seems to be a bit better and is using her leg a tiny bit more. She's gotten her dewormer everyday and tomorrow is the last day for that.
She laid another perfect egg today.

Good!

Poor Cocoa is bored, lol! She's been being louder and walking around more. So everyday I take her outside for a bit.
When she walks she puts her foot down and uses it some. When she runs she keeps it up.

Taking her out is a good idea.

Taking her out is a good idea.

Yes, she does like it! She gets to free range some which is good.
But some of the other hens will go after her, I assume cause she's injured.

More than likely, hens can be meanies.
If you have a separate space/area she can in during the day when you can't be with her would be helpful. She'd still be out near the others but she can rest/eat/drink without being picked at.

I would definitely do that if I could, but my prefab is currently occupied by my new cockerel. If I didn't have him in there I would put Cocoa in there.
Of course Cocoa had to get injured while my prefab is being used, lol.

When I'm home (Which is all the time practically. ) I suppose I could put her in the dog crate she's in outside.

Sounds like you’re giving her the right treatment also plenty of love!

Update on Cocoa, she's doing very well and is slowly getting better! She's using her leg much more than before.

I'm glad she's still improving, this is promising news!
