    Hen Injured by predator, ok except for limping

    Thank you for the suggestion! I checked for a broken bone and found nothing, she would perch with both feet, and I got her to put some weight down on the injured leg, but there were no squawks. I'll try to get her in a sling or splint and see if there's any improvement.

    Very similar complaint on the candler, if the top was made of black plastic it would be much more effective.
