BROKEN FEMUR

[sandloaf]

Her comb sure is a lot more pale than the waddles, especially compared to last week’s picture. Cannyou check for any lice or especially mites? Hopefully, she is not bleeding into her leg from the fracture. Did you try calling University of Florida vet center for help?

How does her crop feel especially early in the morning before she has any food or water? A slow to empty crow or a crop problem might make her not want to eat. I would try offering some very watery chicken feed first, then some bits of egg or tuna later if she won’t have some. Do you have any Poultry NutriDrench or vitamins to give her? PND has some iron, and vitamins can help boost her appetite.

Have you thought of a chicken sling? I can’t remember if this was asked earlier. Here is a link with pictures:

We checked her for bugs and i even gave her a little dusting. I will have to check her leg when I get off work. My phone doesnt come on until November 1st because of the bill so I am planing to call then, I have also been sending emails. Im waiting for a response.

I will check her crop tomorrow morning. The girls were eating lettuce today and she ate a lot of the super juicy white part which i was really happy to see! I will try tuna! I don’t have anything like that right now but I can look online for some!

I tried the sling but she panics and tries to jump out.

Hi sorry for the late response. Shes doing okay! We let her out everyday and she can manage to move around and even scratch her face with the broken leg! She tries to put pressure on it and i guess it healed weird but she’s getting used to it.

I am so happy for the both of you!
