This morning I got the pullet out and held her and she ate a little bit. I put her down on the floor and it seems to be the foot that is hurt. I am going to go to the feed store and get some vet tape and wrap it, but I was wondering about wrapping it. Do I wrap it straight or with a bend in it like it would be as if she were standing? And do I need padding to put the foot on?
We went to pick up 2 wellsummer pullets this afternoon and when we were there, the person who we got them from asked if we were interested in this pullet that he was going to put down. I asked him what happened to her. He said that a few days ago he was moving the chicken tractor that the flock was in to a new spot with grass and that when he went to put it down, it landed on her. She is hobbling around on her one good leg but can't put pressure on the the other. I felt so bad for her, and my heart went out to her. I brought her home and gave her a bath, dried her and looked her over. Her leg looks fine as well her feet. We think it could be her hip. I feel so sorry for her. I have her in a crate with shavings inside our house and she is sleeping.
Any advise on what to do and what to give her?
