Chicken with hurt leg, not eating.

[KlinoClucks]

Hi,
Looking for some advice. One of our bantam hens' legs is hurt. She's the smallest chicken in the flock, and we suspect that her foot got caught in the mesh flooring of the coop, and then she hurt it while trying to get it out. We found her hopping around on one leg, her tail was a bit droopy. After a few days she was still hopping around on one leg, so we decided to separate her from the flock, so she could rest without being pestered by the other chickens. This was about two weeks ago. Yesterday/today she isn't doing well at all. She hasn't been eating, she's got a bit of runny poop, and she just stays in her little carrier not interested in anything at all. She was breathing quickly last night. Her leg hasn't improved. We're not sure what's wrong with her leg, she's a bit sensitive when we touch the joint, but doesn't mind us moving her leg, but she cannot put any weight on it.
Any ideas how to help/heal her? Thanks!

I'm assuming that the joint 'hurts' although her leg can be moved ... A picture of the 'injured' leg/joint in question. Is the leg warm to touch? Is it swollen? Off color?
Picture of the runny poop ... Is it all the time or just at times?
She could be depressed having been separated from the flock, chickens are social animals. Would it be possible to corner off a section of the coop for her?
You could try wetting her food to make a mash. Boiled egg yolk to entice her to eat or even scrambled eggs. How long has she been off feed?

She has been off feed for about two days. She did drink some water today, but not interested in the food.
We can try setting up a place for her with the other chickens. Thanks for the advice!
Every time she makes a poop it's a bit runny. Will try send a picture.
Her leg isn't swollen, and it isn't off colour. Her leg doesn't feel warmer than usual. Will send a picture too.
Thanks for the advice!

The leg thats closest to the camera is the one that she can't put any weight on.

We have a hen who injured her leg and couldn't weight bear on it at all for around 3 weeks, although she hopped around to get about in the beginning. We made her a run within the main run, so that she was surrounded by her flock all day, and then put her to bed in a separate coop so that she didn't get bullied. We fed her scrambled egg and made her standard food into a mash with water, as @ChickNanny13 suggests, and that really got her eating - be sure to put that and fresh water close by so that she can reach them easily when she's in pain. We also gave her a few fresh greens as a treat each day which really cheered her up, but just as a small addition in the afternoons.

Our hen stayed a fence apart from the others until she could walk, but that was last summer and she still has a noticeable limp which I assume will never heal (but it doesn't seem to bother her). It sounds like your hen might just be stressed and in pain but if you can get her eating well then I expect she will recover in time.

Thanks @HollyWoozle! Made a small pen for her with the other chooks today. Will see if she looks better in a few days. She ate some food today which is great.
