Chicken owners, Help!-Update!

[ChevyTheQH]

My 2 1/2 year old Rhode Island Red fell off my arm earlier and is limping. I’ve given her an epson salt bath, what should I do? She is pooping and she ate a little. She has been standing in the same spot the last 3 times I’ve checked her though and doesn’t come when I call her name.

Update:
Thanks everyone! She is back to normal after a week of r and r!She has become very clingy to me but I expect that is normal.

I wouldnt worry too much unless she stops eating or drinking. Check if there is any swelling on her hip, knee and foot joints hun.
I would also suggest mebbe separating her from the others in a smaller pen inside with plenty of access to ffood and water, heat will help.
If she doesnt improve, consult a vet.
Hope this helps ... feel free to chat anytime!

She has a bit of swelling on her ankle joint.

Yep, probably a stave (sprain)
Just keep her in a limited area on her own if you can ... if she doesnt have to move far it should heal ok.
Warm and hydrated x

Thank you, we keep them in a coop due to a severe amount of predators in our area so I think she can stay in there right?

She should be just fine! Chickens are tough creatures, and I think that as long as you keep an eye on her and keep her in the coop, she'll be back to normal in a few days.

I agree!
