My speckled Sussex hen was injured, she had her neck in the car door and we didn't see her until the car door was almost shut. At first it looked pretty grim but then she perked up some. I cannot see any visible injuries, her wings seem to not have been injured and she can hold and move her head ok, i felt around there but did not notice anything, i am also not a chixken anatomy expert and she has very full feathers. Pale comb and waddle, not white just pale pink. Mainly just lethargic and slightly wheezy breathing on occasion. I brought her inside and I am hoping it's more shock and bruising but I have no way to know. Maybe her neck was more "pinched" in the door? No avian vet available here. She's pooping fine, normal there. I am mainly needing advice on how to diagnose potential injury.

Leaving her with the flock will be less stressful for her.
Is she eating?

She hasn't yet, but it hasn't been that long since it happened, maybe an hour and a half. I brought her inside in case she was in shock and it's cold out. And I wasn't sure if she would be able to roost either. I was debating on taking her to the coop.
 
Can you take a video of her real quick?
Of how she is acting.
 
This is about all she's doing since I put her down in the box. Periodically opening her eyes and looking around
