I went out to my coop this morning and found a SECOND chicken with a broken leg! Am I feeding something wrong? Is there something I should be adding to increase bone strength?
The first chicken (black Cochin) I had to euthanize because the break was so high up that a splint was ineffective and she could not even lift her body off the ground.
My buff Orpington is walking but with a very serious limp. I will splint it and have her in a small enclosure so she doesn't have to move about. Any other suggestions as far as feed goes for making sure my chickens don't break any more legs??
