I’m not able to get in with a vet. I’m also not able to pay for it… Which I know is a basic requirement for animal owning, but I’m not even graduated out of high school yet so I’m a bit tight on money. She’s moving around and doesn’t seem to be in too bad of pain, but I can tell she’s uncomfortable.

It's OK. Avian vets are hard to find, very expensive, and sometimes not that good.

It's just been a bit over 24 hours. Try the aspirin, keep her eating and drinking and let her rest.

Does she look uncomfortable? You could put some rolled up towels for her to lean into if you think that might make her more comfortable.

Will do. Guys, I cannot express my thanks to all of you. This is so scary. I love her so much.

She’s curled up in a blanket and I’ve loosely swaddled her at points which she loves. I’ve been flushing her wounds with saline, applying neosporin, and wrapping them with sterile gauze twice a day (one in the morning, one right before bed), and keeping her in a dog crate with towels over for comfort. She’s got wet food and water with electrolytes (both of which she consumes) and I’ve given her scrambled eggs. That’s all I’ve done— Is there anything else I can do in this moment besides the aspirin?

Some more photos. Sorry if there’s doubles.

Not really. You're doing a great job. She's s lucky chicken to have someone take care of her like that.

Keep us updated.

If you have another urgent question you can update the title of this thread with "URGENT New (fill in the blank)". So we will notice it.

Thank you so much. I’m really appreciating it. I’ll keep updating if something happens if it doesn’t bother yins.

Can she stand? What does she do with the bum leg when she stands?
Also, did you feel the bones in her leg from top to bottom?

She does stand and move around quite a bit. She tucks her leg in a bit, but sometimes she just lets it rest. I did feel the bones and I didn’t feel anything off.

Noticed she took her bandages off. I went to go check and change out the blanket in there too to give her something cleaner. She’s just standing there preening herself? Not going near the injury, though.

How she stands.
