Thought I'd give a quick update- Ace is still with us. Ended up doing a vet consult because I needed to double check something. It's funny how different meds work on humans or animals- a 5 pound chicken is getting the same dose of a pain med in a pint of water as an adult human.
She's out of danger from shock, so as long as she doesn't develop an infection she should be safe. Letting her out of her crate a couple times a day to walk around the basement. She can walk around for about 5 minutes before she goes back over to the box like "I'm tired- put me back in."
She's also gone from sleeping on the floor to roosting on a 2x4 a few inches off the ground, so that's a positive.
It's going to be a few weeks till her skin heals enough to put her back outside. So she's not out of the woods yet, but it's more likely she'll survive. Tough little bird.
