The other day my step daughter wanted to learn how to catch one of our four chickens. We have three diffrent breeds and she asked to catch our leghorn. We have a fairly long chicken run and the coop is an old shed we no longer use. To provide a emergency shelter for them if they get caught in the rain we extended the run along the house under the storm shutters and underneath one is a old door leaning against the house forming a small leanto. We herded the chickens into a corner and foghorn hide under the door so i had my daughter on one side and i was on the other. I tried to coax her out and she ran towards me and between my legs before turning back around and running chest first into the door. Its day two and ever since the injury she's been wheezing and doesnt want to move. I isolated her, shes in the house on my lap at the moment so i can monitor her and shes got her head down and im worried shes mot gonna make it. I didnt feel broken bonesor see any cuts or bruisesunder her feathers and ive been trying to figure out whats wrong with her but naturally the internet comes up with chicken reciepes. Can some please help me?
