Drew Ducks, what does the Vet recommend? Even bones that have been damaged will come back eventually. If it were me, I would be thinking about either a walker or a splint of some kind to get him through this. Also, if you do plan on doing this, you might want to think about adding some sardines, without salt, to his diet. Protein and added calcium can go a long way to heal the damage. I would also add a Cod Liver Oil capsule to his feed every day as well. You don't need a high dose one.

This will have to be thought about and understood that Huey may never be 'normal'. Doesn't mean he won't be happy, doesn't mean you will love him any less. It just means he will always be a special needs guy and will require extra TLC. My pea fowl are like that and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
