I did search for an answer but could not directly relate to any thread. I believe she was "trampled" this AM by her sisters on everyones way out of the run ( I let them free range several times a day to keep boredom at a min)- have given her yogurt with a little "aspirin" and she is shivering much less now. She is separated (in the house bathroom) in a tote with wire cover - water, food and wood shavings - seems calm but not standing. She was very calm when holding this morning and will stand for a few seconds then slowly go down to the ground. No sign of break (assuming I could feel any) no blood, no limping - just straight down. Can anyone help me with suggestions. - thanks for reading this and hopefully offering a solution!
 
Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos?
You mention she was shivering? Like she was cold, trembling due to pain or trauma or tremor like neurological? Whole body or just the legs?

Will she eat/drink on her own?

Where are you located in the world?
Was she vaccinated for Marek's?
What do you feed?

I would work on hydration, then offer her normal feed. Bits of egg may be of interest.
It would hurt to give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex for a few day.
