    6 week old banty still alive after losing a leg to a predator

    I am happy to bring this update (months later!) that my one leg bird is really a bantam ROO! He is still with us...hopping on one leg, still keeping up with his girls.

    This morning we discovered something (with small paws) had reached inside a dog kennel door (temp. housing for 18 chicks) and ripped the leg off our little banty hen. The poor thing is still alive, mostly laying around but tries to keep up with the flock. Won't let me near to offer water and...
