Injured chicken, can’t stand up, broken wing/leg?

I'm so sorry you had to make that decision for her. I know how hard it is, but it was the kindest thing to do.
I do have one hen who was breathing kind of weird, but I’ve had her quarantined for a few days and she’s eating and drinking.. any suggestions? Is she safe to go back with the others? I’m not sure what to do, if the rest survive, will I not be able to get any more chickens until I no longer have them?
What type of "weird" breathing? Have you considered treating her with Tylan 50? I'm not a fan of using antibiotics willy nilly but if you have Marek's she will need as much help as possible to fight a respiratory infection. Unfortunately Marek's can cause respiratory problems either as a direct result of the virus (tumours on the lungs) or through secondary infection due to it's immune suppression.
Have you given her a vitamin supplement to boost her immune system?

I haven’t given her anything yet, but I think I might have some things I could use. What kind of vitamin supplement? When she breaths, she opens her break a little bit. I’m not sure what that
Means, but I don’t think thats something she usually does.
