    Hen can’t use left leg

    Thank you Debbie. She doesn’t use it. Hops on right foot if absolutely necessary. Those chick chairs are cute. 😊 I will soak her as you suggested as you suggested. I couldn’t tell anything when trying to figure out whether leg is broken or not. Soaking will be good for better examination. I...

    Hen can’t use left leg

    Hi, i have a Rhode Island Red, close to 6 years old. I was holding her and she pushed off on my hand. When I put her down she could use her left leg. It’s been a week.

    Oh, ok that’s interesting. I will try the ivermectin then. I’m only seeing 1.87 % as the lowest strength. Do you think that would be ok? I really appreciate your help!

    Thank you for your reply! I live in Sacramento California. I believe I can get ivermectin. If I purchase put it on topically will I still need to do the surgery? Is it possible that this is a magot from the fly strike? I have not seen it move but the hen is sensitive to my touching it.

    There it is. Her feathers are very sparse around that area. This is a pic right after I soaked her.
