    Help! Adult hen paralyzed - can’t identify leg wounds

    They do like to be warmer, but 60-70 degrees iw plenty warm enough. A heat lamp will definitely be to hot. I would take that out, she'll be just fine without it. Glad I can help! :)

    Help! Adult hen paralyzed - can’t identify leg wounds

    I bet she was so happy! Honestly, she probably doesn't need a that lamp. Especially since its staring to get nice, but we live in completely different areas, so maybe the temp is colder were you are. What is the temp right now?

    Help! Adult hen paralyzed - can’t identify leg wounds

    First thing I noticed is those toenails. Those are long! I can't imagine she could walk comfortably on those! I would suggest clipping them with dog nail clippers, or person nail clippers will work as well. Clip them until they are a little longer then this- Then, use a nail file to file them...
