I need help. I have a bard rock pullet, about 4 months old that I do not believe is laying eggs yet. I found her in the coop today with her leg mangled, the flesh has been eaten and the bone is entirely exposed. I sprayed the entire area with a wound spray that I got at the farm store and I put her in a small enclosed box with food and water, she is eating and drinking.
I know the leg can not be saved, should I leave it and see what happens or amputate it. If I should amputate, should I leave the bone beyond the flesh or go to the next joint in the flesh?
Amazingly, besides having a mangled leg and exposed bone she seams to be doing good.
