At the moment I don't seem to see my chickens much.i came home one day to see Shirly a tiny bantam (about 6-10 years old) siting on the ground with here wing splayed out.at first I think something's wrong with her wing but I soon notice she can't walk with one of her feet.i was then told my popa had caught her and put her back in the coop,and what with all the dogs around(at least 7) and farm dogs no less,there are other subjects but least likely.I pve seperate do her from the others and got her in a rabbit pen im trying to give her the best food and making it available for her along with water.but I don't know what to do next,I don't want her to get lonly or bored but she's at the bottum of the pecking order and she would get picked on any ideas?

It's good that u separated her. Poor old girl. If her feet or legs are hurt make sure there is something soft in her pen to sit on like an old folded bath towel. If you could post pics of her injuries, we could do more to help. You can put a mirror in the pen so she can see herself and feel like she is with another bird. Try to spend some time with her while we try to help you figure out what is wrong. If you see anything weird or worse, post right away ok.

Good news she can walk better...
Still sits most the time,and uses wing though
How do I put up a pic of her
She laid an egg that's a good sign right?
