When I went out to close up the coop yesterday evening I counted heads and came up one short. I walked around the yard and found her hanging by one leg from a lawn chair. She was not flaping or squaking, she just looked at me like HELP! It broke my heart. I dont know how long she had been like that.I gently scooped her up and got her leg free.I heald her for a while and checked for any cuts. She would not walk on it so I put her in a nest box and she settled in. When I went out this morning to let them out she was on the pearch. I set her on the coop floor and she still cant walk on her leg, she just hopps a little ways and sits down. She wont put any weight on it. What should I do? This is the first time any of my chickens have gotten hurt. I've had them for about a year now. I guess it was just a matter of time befor something would happen. Any advice would be helpful. BTW I threw the chair in the trash after I busted it to pieces...
