If the skin is not broken, you can splint the leg. Chickens heal incredibly fast. First, wrap the leg in some gauze and then vet wrap. Wrap it straight - as in standing position. Some people will put a popsicle stick but I feel this is uncomfortable for the chicken when its trying to rest. Always keep an injured chicken away from the rest of the flock. They will eat her food and knock her down possibly making the injury worse. Also, she needs to rest to be able to recover. Take care of your baby! She'll be up and at em in a few weeks.
