Possible broken wing?

[4nik4m]

My chicken's wing is hanging on the one side and when I looked underneath, the skin is greenish. I think this means it's bruised, the injury seemed to be round the "elbow" rather than the top of the wing, do I tape the hanging part to the wing or tape the whole wing to the body?

Just my opinion but I would just leave her alone. Chickens are very resilient and just like a person with a bruise it should heal. I don't know how to tell if it is broken except for an expensive x-ray.

If it is broken might heal in the down position but I don't think it will bother the hen.

Thank you, purpletree23, his wing seems fine now, it was funny though, I strapped it with vet tape and he pulled it off within 3 seconds, silly chook!

Glad he is better. Maybe he just wanted a little extra attention.
