VERY TINY SILKIE HEN with broken leg or dislocated hip?

[Boots777]

My little itty bitty SILKIE girl, Marcasite, had something fall on her and is limping. When I hold her, the leg just seems to sway back and forth. How do I check her out to see what's wrong?
I have her in a small dog cage with food and water. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

The only way to tell for sure would be through an X ray.

How small is she? Age? Diet? Can you get a picture?

Here are some videos and pics of my Marcasite.

Sorry for not knowing how to do all this. I'm 75 and hard to get videos and pictures. Marcasite is around the size of a softball. She is around 3 years old. She is on chicken crumbles, some scratch and some scrambled eggs. Also so greens.

I took a good video but it won't post. I can send it by email if you would like.

Don't worry.
Unfortunately, the only way to tell if it's broken is an xray. Can you see any red ness or swelling? Does it feel hot?

Looks like it is standing just fine on it's legs in this picture so I don't think they are broken.
I would think it couldn't stand at all if it's legs were broken.

Have you lost and birds recently?
Is your flock vaccinated for Marek's disease?

She doesn't put weight on it. The leg just flops around. She doesn't make any noise when the leg is checked. No lost birds and none added for a long time. I do know that while working on the pen, a pole for the dog kennel fell and everyone went running. That's when I saw her limping. It may have hit her. I don't have the money for a vet and X-rays. My chickens are my babies and I do the most I can for them, being on social security income.
