Please help asap!

Thwew was supposed to be there... down there (she is in basement so our dog doesnt get curious! He's afraid of stairs in basement)
She's eating some now transferred her to a large dog cage so now she has room to move around and is clucking a lot so I hope that means she happy!!
I put in a big cup of scratch and she is eatkng from that.
I think she jist misses her flock.

If she is eating, talking, and moving around then that is a good indication that she isn't giving up! Don't get in a hurry to put her back. She has to heal up and it will probably take several days. All you need to do now is keep her wound clean and give her yummy things to eat! The eggs have so many nutrients that her body needs right now so you might mix it in with her regular food.
You are doing a great job!!!

Thanks for all the advice guys! we found another wound on her we missed somehow last night, this one looks way worse than the other but we just cleaned it up and put EMT gel on it and will keep her separate from the flock until it's all healed up. She's a happy lady, clucking a lot , eating and drinking, we gave her some leftover venison from dinner tonight and she was thrilled!! She's had it before, had to share with the rest of her sisters before tonight she was spoiled and got it all to herself!
Just need to give her time to heal now I guess.
Boyfriend is thinking of letting her run around the yard, under supervision and all by herself Do you all think this is a good idea ?
Also he is thinking about putting her in coop and closing coop and leaving the rest of the chickens in the run and her in the coop just to let her feel like she's at home.. Any advice on these two ideas of his ?

Sounds great! I would wait at least one more day to let her out. I had a little roo that was pretty badly injured and I took him out several time a day until he was ready to go back. Personally, I wouldn't put her in the coop for a little while though, it might not hurt but she might be more exposed to bacteria than she would in the yard. Just use your best judgement, you seem to be doing fine.
One thing about it is that she will probably become one of your friendliest birds due to her constant contact with you!!!
 
She gave us an egg tonight and she's roosting on the makeshift roosting pole I created for her (she never roosts on the poles in the coop) so maybe now she will teach this to our other chickens when she gets introduced again.
 
There are two wounds both on her back.
She is under a heat lamp under tsc advice.
Will that make her body want to create eggs,?

Leave her under heat,this is very important. When ill,chickens cannot regulate their body temp,so additional heat is required. Make sure she can get away from heat in the event she becomes overheated.
 
Heat lamp is on. Sitting over just one corner of the large dog cage she is calling home for right now.
Her roosting pole is partially under the lamp and she hasn't moved off that since last night at about 8.
She is in our basemwnt so heat lamp is keeping her warm but not tooo warm.
Thanks so much for all your guys help. I will let yiu know how her progress goes.
