Hi @Shan77 :frow Welcome To BYC

How old is your RIR?
Can you post some photos or a video of her actions?
Do you think the wing and foot are broken, sprained, etc.?
Is there any blood or exposed/broken bones?

Isolating her is good.
It's hard to know what to do at this point, if it's just a sprain/injury and nothing is broken, then it's best to let her rest, see that she is drinking and eating well. It can take a few days to start recovering from sprain and injury.

If the wing is broken, then you may need to wrap the wing to her side to stabilize it. See the photos in this link http://www.starlingtalk.com/fractures.htm
 
She is 2 months old. I see no blood and when she goes to move she just falls over after a few steps. She is perky this am but just unable to move. I'll video her this evening when i get home from work. Thank you for responding i feel so helpless with not knowing what to do for her.
 
Thank you so much. I put a water and food right next to her. I sure hope she drinks. Sad how people love animals on different levels. The 2 people i rely to help love animals on a different level and so yeah
 
I agree hydration is #1 Thats what I did for my frost bit hen. She pulled through.
I think you're doing good so far. Hopefully you get the help ya need
 
Been outside with the babies since i pulled up from work. So she is perky i dont feel as if she is going to die like i did this morning. But no change in anything else. I took a few pics and a video.

How is she doing?

If her wing is still splayed out like it is in the photo, then you may need to wrap it so she can move around and get to food/water more easily. I believe instructions along with illustrations are in the links provided earlier.
 
She is the same. Perky but clearly in pain. I am making her a chicken sling after work today and going to splint her leg. I have her in a barrel thats now a tub with food and water. Yesterday i had her in the pen i raise chicks in so she would flop all over so i thought smaller space less movement. Tried posting video but i guess 30 seconds is to big. Her food and water are right in front of her so thats one less worry
