Inherited this old gal but...

[Peterboy]

I received this 10+year old

old gal and I would like to fix her, if possible. She has been like this for 2-3 years, so I am told, and she really shows no sign of pain. Great appetite and very active. She is the only one here. I hope someone can tell me as I would love to help her.

Thanks so much.
PS how long do chickens live?

I can't answer your first one but good healthy heritage breede can live 6-10 years.

10+ years old, she's lived a good life for sure. Inspect her closely for external parasites, particularly around her vent area. I dont know if she has depluming mites or not. I would think that depluming mites wound infect other parts of her body and not just her wing.
Perhaps a predator got a hold of her at one point, not sure.
Any info from the previous owner?

Thank you for answering! Now that you asked, I was told she was attacked by a cat sometime ago. Do you think this is the result and she will never regrow her wing? It has been a long time and she will not be attacked again as I have taken measures to keep any predatory animals away from her. I know she has no mites. Thank you.
