My chicken went missing for a few days and I eventually found her wedged tightly upright between some rocks. She was not there the day before so I feel she was only in that position for 24 hours. I extracted her by pushing upwards and she was quite stuck. I put her quietly in my shed and gave her food and drink. She wasn’t able to hold herself up at all and was only able to lie on her side, I had to prop her up with towels so she could eat and drink. Now 1 week has passed and she is standing and much better but has one foot curled up and not able to balance well and walk properly. I have splinted the foot in the last 24 hours but no improvement so far. Any suggestions?

I have a rooster eith injured leg or foot the same. Ive vetrapped it for support and I've started giving anti inflammatory.
Ibuprofen for infants. He is a bit more mobile than he was but still limping. I think they need to rest it first for a while. My roo has been lame 3 weeks now so he needs to be up more.
