She has been like it for 3 days now and has actually improved a bit as she can now walk and stand up. She is also a bit hunched over anyway because she is moulting a bit
Apart from this she is well and happy, eating, drinking, BEABT and pooing etc, so am hoping a few days in the warm being immobile may help the muscles to heal.
I had a hen like this once before, where she landed hard off a fence, I did the same thing and she recovered....

If she continues to improve day by day and can start to walk around that will be good. If at any point she looks distressed I will kill her.
Although I name my hens, and am very keen on them, and recognise their individual nature, I tend not to anthropomorphise very much now . I used to, but after so many deaths, sadly it becomes too much ...
