How in the world could a wound heal that quick? makes no sense. im stumped and following this thread.

That my friend, is an excellent question. I could try to get a picture of the wound if you like. It just looks like a slightly deep cut on her side. It's blackened from dried blood, but that's it. It makes no sense to me.

 

[Spongegirl]

yes pictures! please!

 

[AxelFlynn08]

yes pictures! please!

Ok, just give me a minute. I have to hold her just right for my webcam.

I can't imaging a person doing it, if they were wanting to inflict pain they would do worse than this?
There are the most horrible stories or teenagers hurting pets
I think she's caught it on something, you need to do a finger tip search around the coop etc And see if you can find the leg,
OR
can small animals get into the coop
Could a rat do gnawed it off?

People are words that I can't use on this site. I did a full search if the coop, and there's no sign of the leg. No blood, no places she could have caught it on.
Yes, it's possible that a rodent could have gnawed it off, but what are the chances? I've never had any trouble with rodents other than squirrels since I own a bunch if cats, one of which
catches the rodents out here...I've never seen anything past voles and field mice.

That sounds like the only explanation, actually. A rat or mouse. This story is just nuts!

She isn't a very big hen. As you can see, there isn't a mess.


Here's the wound. I held her on her back for this one but since I was holding her, I couldn't pull much feather away to show it more. It quite honestly doesn't look like a two day wound, but I swear, I'm out there with my birds every single day unless I'm away from home. I would have noticed and freaked out MUCH sooner if it was gone while I was home.

WHOA! omg! the whole freakin leg. wow...just wow...

Yeah, I know! It freaked me out when she wouldn't come for some peanut suet. If I go through this long process again, I think I can get a better picture of it.
