Good Afternoon,
I checked on my chickens before I left the house yesterday and they were all fine. I was gone for less than an hour and when I returned I found one of my chickens laying in the run not moving. I saw she tried to stand but something was wrong with one of her legs. It appears to be broken higher up on her leg. I can feel the break. Not sure what to do?? Second, when holding her I noticed her crop was squishy, I am assuming it it sour crop from everything I read. I have read many articles on sour crop but not sure what to do. I have a little bit of water with the apple cider vinegar, but she will not drink anything. Any help with both of the medical issues would be appreciated. I do have her isolated and she is in a cat carrier so she doesn’t move too much Thank you
