I'd crush part of b complex tablet, add in some poultry vitamins with minerals, a little bit of sugar and put it in her water. If you do not have poultry vitamins, I would grind up children's vitamins with minerals, add the crushed b complex, and sugar, and mix it all in her water. Where the scuff is you can put some blue kote on her leg. Give her a quiet place where she will be warm, (in the house?), w/ food and her vitamin water, an oven rack over her box if you are using a box. She should be good to go in a day or two or three. The vitamins have to be in her water to work and will calm her, help her heal faster, and get the injured areas working.

One of my aerecana pullets had a run in with my horse (I think). She had a slight scuff on her leg, but no swelling that I can tell, yet, she is not putting weight on it, if she can help it. She keeps it off the ground and kind of hops then puts a little weight and hops again. When I pick her up and try to get her toes to curl around my finger, she doesn't clench. Everything seems to bend okay. I'm keeping her confined, but I'm not sure if I should wrap and splint it for support or just let it heal while she is confined. I am really not even sure if it is in her shoulder, opposed to her lower leg.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Sheli
