It seems that Fran will not be able to fly or jump up. Wings too damaged. She has a crate she loves to crawl in at night and seems fine with that, but she can’t hop up on the roost. She is off by herself part of the day, hanging out with the other chickens the rest. They seem to have accepted her, and her wounds seem to be healing well. She is not quite her old self, but better by far than she was, and still improving. Animals are astonishingly adaptable.
