One of my chickens (about 7 months old) seems to have injured her wing. She's holding it low, and not flapping it. Even let me pick her up, but did peck at me, because I think her wing hurts. I'm afraid we'll have to euthanize her. I do not want to find her pecked to death (As happened with a previous chicken who was sick)....... My hubby is going to decide in the morning after trying to fix her if he'll have to kill her or not... (because I'm too emotional about the whole thing).
Any idea? Should I wait it out? I am just more concerned about her being pecked to death by the others because our dominant rooster already showed signs when I was out there earlier, before I realized she had an injured wing......
Just looking for an idea. No open sore that I can find, she's just favoring that wing, and didn't go up with the rest to roost tonight... I Did put her up with the rest though and she got comfy.
