URGENT! Peachick leg caught in door

[MamaPeahen]

My brother had accidentally closed our heavy wood door on my peachick's leg, and I found her bleeding.
She doesn't seem to want to put any pressure on it, and I'm unsure if the leg is broken, her toes may also be broken. She was bleeding from her knee, and is sleeping in my lap right now.
I'm not letting her put any pressure on it, and it is lightly bandaged, other than that, I don't know what to do. Please help, her and her sister are both rescues, and her sister already passed from the mother having worms.

Look up how to make a chicken sling. @casportpony @KikisGirls @azygous can help you out.

Welcome to BYC! Can you post pictures on the leg?
Read this, it explains how to check for fractures and shows how to splint.

The line under her knee is where her leg is cut open, and it's swollen right at and above the knee itself

Aside from reading the info in the links posted in the other comments, I would suggest perhaps a splint.
Here are a few more possibly helpful links:

Since you said she's a rescue, I would also suggest you get extra nutrition in her. Crushed boiled egg would be a great treat for her, as would yogurt. Also locate a nutrient drench and/or a vitamin/electrolyte mix for her water. The mix I use is made by Durvet, and is generally sold at farm & home stores like Tractor Supply or Orshelyn. The item's description and what it looks like is shown here: https://www.durvet.com/product/vitamins-electrolytes-100-gm/

She may recover, but may not ever be 100% mobile like she should be. But if she is just to be a pet, that may be okay to you. She may not grow up to where she could be mounted by a peacock, but she could end up being a best buddy for you for many years. Best of luck to you in treating her. You've found the right place to get advice from - there are so many helpful people here!

Thank you for the feeding advice! We usually rescue and release the birds, but ever since the injury we expected that we may have to look after her, we will likely keep her with our hens if that is the case.

Does the line go all they way around the leg? If it does, make sure it's not an embedded piece of hair or thread.

For food, I feed my peachicks turkey starter.

She is nearly completely healed now, her leg wasn't broken and didn't need any casting or splinting and she healed all on her own. She barely limps anymore and the slight favor to the uninjured leg only shows when she's running! Thank you so much for your help @casportpony
