My Hen was attacked by a dog behind my back. She has no extreme feather loss or any visible open wounds, but she's limping. I examined her leg and I was able to move it around w/o her making any painful noises, and she can move it herself too. I'm 13 and This is my first time raising chickens so I don't know how to tell if the leg is broken or if its just trauma/a sore. Please help...I can't stand to see my poor Olivia limping around like this! She's the most active chicken of the flock!
 
Day 2 and my poor girl's still limping. If her left side is just sore, how long would it take to feel better? What would a broken bone look like?
