Hello, all
I have 4 mystery bantam chicks that I found in my run the beginning of August. Yes, found. They actually snuck in through the links in the fence. They've been growing well & are part of the flock now.
I noticed one of the hens was limping & favoring her left leg. I asked the Google machine & it seems to be the collective answer was perosis. I bandaged the hock with coban & put her in a sling. I think I did it right, but she's trembling a bit. I had read in another post that for some chickens that is a pain indicator & I just wanted to ask the hive mind if this setup looks correct, or if I could be straining her somehow by doing it wrong.
Thanks in advance!
