This barred rock chick will be 4 weeks 5/10. We think when we got her her toe was stuck in a gap in the cardboard, she had curled toe, which we fixed.
We have given nutridrench, tried to see if slipped tendon, tried different hobbles. Nothing has worked.
We free range our chickens, and plan to do the same with her, if we can’t fix the leg, will she be ok to get around? She’s been such a fighter I don’t want to cull her, but don’t want her to have a life of pain either.
The issue seems to come from the ankle? Any insight or possible treatments are so appreciated!!
