Took girl to the vet and she has a hyper-extended joint... which is why she is not putting weight on her leg and is dragging it. Vet put her in a splint to help it heal properly, but I need to fashion a sling to help her keep from dragging it behind her. She is 7-8 weeks old (RIR) and may need...
Thank you.
After 2 days of calling and being told by most vets that they wont treat a chicken, I found one who will assess the injury for $60!! At least then we'll know exactly what is wrong and where to go from there.
I have a chick (7 weeks old) with a broken leg... It seems to be high up on the leg and she is dragging her leg behind her. She is still moving around and eating and drinking just fine.
I called the local vets and found one (only one!) that is willing to treat her, but they want $200+ to x-ray...
