Like a kennel in a garage... Or a simple 2x2x2 box with 2x2s For the frame of the box with chicken wire all around, and 4- 2x2 peices of ply. One for the bottom and one for the back, then one on each side. THEN you have a chicken hospital for future problems...i did read that stress was a huge part of whether a hen got better or worse...........
Some did better in a dark place by theirselves, and one story the hen was bonded to another so she got too stressed if she was separated from the group.
They MUST be stress free, and kept stress free for at LEAST 2-3 weeks after the neck is "better", before integrating with the flock again, according the the first gal.
Only issue would be heat, if you had a non-heated place for her it would be better. Otherwise it would be a shock going out into the cold in a month............
