Pekin not using one leg
As of last night it seems that the “knee” is swollen and when I picked her up and turned her over she was flailing her one leg which appeared as if she was kicking and not moving the other at all. if it’s a break, will it heal on its own if I keep her “down” and by herself? -
Pekin not using one leg

Pekin not using one leg
Last Wednesday I noticed My one yr old Pekin, Ethel, limping. Thursday morning she was not walking at all so I removed her from the yard and “quarantined” her on the porch. She is eating fine and drinking fine. She is placing her leg back behind her and I have noticed that she is not using it...
