I let the 11 chicks, who are 4 days old out to free range with their hatching mom Delilah today. Delilah has had 5 batches of chicks so is very experienced.
They all came back good but one. It has literally ripped it's leg off. Minimal bleeding, but the leg is most likely going to fall off, barely hanging onto the rest of the body. It's limp and everything. I don't want lecturing on free range, that's how I raise my chickens, if anything it was some barn kittens that grabbed it. Such is mother nature though..
If it does lose a leg what should I do?
I won't sell it at the auction where I am selling the other chicks, it would bring down the price of all the chicks.
