I have an orp pullet with a broken leg. It's broke above the knee, below the hip. I believe in humans it's called the femur. Not sure if it's the same for chickens. But anyway. I can feel the bone move like it's splintered. I put a splint on it and have her in a box with food in front of her so she don't have to move much. What I'm wondering is if it does heal will she be able to hold up the weight of the roo when breeding next year when I add her to the orp pen. My roo is huge and I don't wnat her to have to suffer later getting bred or maybe another break from his weight. She is just a couple months old right now not even big enough for the pot.
Any ideas?
