Mess with an injured wing or leave it alone?

Our flock of 6 Rhode Island Reds got attacked midday yesterday and one of the 5 remaining birds has an injured wing. She wasn't able to flap up to the roost last night like the others, so we put her with the others, then lifted them all down in the morning since nobody was leaving the roost. (Whole flock is in shock, and is lethargic so we saw no point in separating them.) They are all able to eat and drink on their own. No vets in our area will take chickens. Can you tell anything from these pictures? We are newbies and don't know if it is broken, sprained, or what.
I don't want to make it worse...

If she’s able to straighten it, than it’s not broken, if she is not able to, we’ll, that’s most likely broken 😞, in any case, you would most likely want to keep it in place for a while as it heals.
Good luck
