Do you know what breed she is? She looks like a cross of a heavy breed. They're prone to structural injuries because of their speedy growth. I had a Rhode Island that started out with a limp, went dead lame, found her unconscious and thought her dead. Took her out of her box, she convulsed in front of me and died. Still have no clue what the hell happened. Been a year and everyone else is fine. As for her disappearance, considering the time of year, she could be nesting somewhere. Our 'wild' chickens often disappear for days, only appearing at breakfast and gone for the rest of the day. As for internal injuries, it can sometimes be hard to tell with the hard scales. Our rooster was attacked, mangled his leg bones bad. But no external injuries. Our vets suck so we home healed him. He does fine with one leg.
