    We tried stretching the leg back but I’m not exactly sure where the tendon is supposed to slip back

    It will rotate back but won’t stay

    We attempted to make a brace with the Coban, it looks a little long so we did shorten it some. This would be easier if she wasn’t quite so big

    So here’s a couple of photos of the actual wound again. I feel like it’s improving some but I’ve noticed over the last couple of days that she seems to have developed what I think is maybe a splayed leg. I thought I had enough shavings in the bottom of the cage. It has a plastic but textured...

    So she is still alive, foot and leg above and below the wound are still significantly swollen. The wound itself appears to be granulating and actually getting smaller. We are spraying with Vetericyn and putting hen helper ointment on it daily. Wish I would have snapped a pic earlier, will try to...

    Wobbly hen

    Sorry to have been so scattered. We had a hen that was attacked and removed from the property with no trace other than a pile of feathers. My thought process was that maybe the predator returned a few days later and was unsuccessful in taking this hen but injuring her in the process...the...

    Wobbly hen

    We recently lost a huge hen, I found nothing but a huge pile of feathers in our yard, no trail really, unsure if it was a hawk, Fox, coyote, neighbor dog. A few days later I noticed this particular hen didn’t look quite right, her feather around her neck and along her back, maybe even her wing...

    Got it, the tape was only used to secure the co-ban which is like vetwrap I think, the tape is not being used as an occlusive dressing type material...just grabbed what we had on hand to keep the chick from pulling it off. Will change out tomorrow when we evaluate the wound.

    Just noticed that one of our new chicks was limping. Upon further inspection she has a badly swollen foot with a circumferential full thickness wound on its leg. There is nothing in there cage that could have tangled or scratched it. We pulled her out and soaked the leg and foot in some water...
