Yesterday we saw one of our hens want walking around when we picked her up we saw that something was wrong with her leg. It looked like her leg was broken and he got was blueish. I put a splint on it but this morning it had gotten worse. I put pictures from yesterday and today. You can see how it got worse. Please let me know if you know what's wrong and what I can do to help her.

The leg looks bluish like the splint might have cut off circulation. What material did you use to splint it? Vet wrap is very good to use, but it can slip and tighten with movement. Also the tissue can swell for a day or two, and that can cause a splint to become tight. I would confine her to a dog crate with food and water, and spray some Vetericyn on the wound.
