What's happening?

[Duck the Waddling Chicken]

I found my chicken in the coop, on the ground and she looked like she was dead. She's not dead, she's drinking water but she isn't pecking at the food I gave her. She only opens her eyes if I move her or make noise. What should I do?

Oh no. How is her poop?
Are the other ones doing okay? How is their poop?

She hasn't pooped yet so I can't tell, the others seem fine but we have pigs that dig holes under the wall to the chicken coop and my dad thinks that the pigs broke her neck then she flopped over to the door because she was next to the door when I saw her. None of the others were down like her and she's not one who likes to be touched.

Can you feel any broken bones?
Is a vet an option?
Broken necks/spines are a hard fix...if a vet recommends euthanasia I would go with it.

I don't feel any broken bones and a vet isn't an option because a vet is in a city that we can't go to. I could wait for my mom to come home and help with her.

Ok...does her neck seem disjointed or anything?
I don't think you can fix this without a vet's help.
I would recommend culling her if she doesn't improve, sadly.

If you don’t feel broken bones I wouldn’t cull. If she’s drinking water then let her heal. Now if she doesn’t pick up eating food after a couple of days that would be concerning.

She's eating and drinking. She just started pecking the food when I held it in front of her face.

From the pictures it doesn't look as though she can even lift her head...let alone drink.
