A neighbor dog got into aanother neighbor chicken yard . I thought the dog had killed it but later I heaard her cracklin found her undera trialer her wing not sure if it is broke she move it very well trys to fly but as she walk it hangs down I trimmed it so she wouldnt walk on her feathers even twrapped it for a few days but then thought maybe she needs to move it. she is a happy chicks sings and lays . but her wing still hangs anyone know or have any suggestions on what I should do oh and I have her in a cage havent inro her to my flock yet when and how should I do this ? Thanks!
 
Poor thing! Glad you found her.

I don't know what to do for the wing, but I will say I'd wait before putting her back with the others. Chickens will pick on an injured or sick chicken, and she might get seriously hurt.

I hope someone more knowledgeable than I am replies soon!
