Limping chicken

[IcameIsawIleft]

Well my brother let one of our dogs out and guess what happened? I was in the house and I heard the chickens cackling loudly and I looked out the window, and there was willow, our dog, having fun! I put her back and counted heads and they all looked fine. I came back later and I saw a soaked hen lying on the side of the canal. I got her dry but she wouldn't walk, just move her legs every once in awhile. Now she can move but shes limping.
What can I do to get her back to normal?

Well, now she jumped off the egg nests and landed funny now she can't walk. I put her up there so predators can't get her. What can I give her to get her better? Please help!

I would check her for bite marks. Clean and put neosporin on any areas with broken skin. Keep her separated from the others and give her extra vitamins and time to heal. If you suspect broken bones, you should consider seeing a vet.

She doesn't have any broken bones or bite marks. I already checked. What vitamans can I give her and where can I get them?

If you don't have any poultry vitamins, go get some polyvisol (without iron). It's a liquid infant vitamin that is sold in many drug stores and grocery stores. Dribble a 2-3 drops on her beak every day. You can also give her things like hardboiled egg yolks for extra nutrients. Keep her someplace quiet and confined so she can get some rest. Chickens can heal quickly if given the chance. Good luck.
