Hi,
We are new to poultry raising and we pride ourselves on having happy chickens. We noticed that one of our broilers has a hurt leg. It is swollen at the joint and the chick holds the leg out to the side a bit and the foot is turned under, almost like a rolled ankle. We seperated it from the rest of the flock and have it inside our house in a laundry basket with shavings, food and water. We tried to make a cast, but it doesn't seem to help. Please help us!
I have a picture, but it looks like I can't attach it to this message. Your helpful hints are appreciated!
