    Dead leg

    We do raise for both eggs and meat. I was reading on amputation and have assisted in many human amputations. Since the leg is dead there isn't any feeling. I think I will butcher her today when I butcher my rabbits. So sad though since she was raised for egg production. Thank you

    Dead leg

    Firekin1 It's not that I don't believe in vets, there isn't any around here that works on chickens. You sound kind of harsh, if I didn't care I would not be on the BYC and I wouldn't of asked for help. You know what happens when you "assume".
