1) Columbian Wyandotte, 5 months, 5 pounds
2) She is breathing heavily and she is unable to stand on her right leg. When I flip her on her back her leg hangs out to the right more than usual
4) No bleeding, thank god. Hans, our dog, had her in his mouth but not too tight. I think the injury came from her fighting back.
5) Inury just happened.
6) No poop yet
7) None
8 ) I think I want to treat her myself if I can. I don't know if I can afford to take her to the vet
9) Can't get a pic of her now that she is in the copp. She won't let me get close to her.
10) enclosed coop with pine shavings and cut straw.
She seems alert and more relaxed. Her breathing has slowed. I guess I am just curious if chickens can live with a broken leg or what the healing process is like. If there is anything I can really do to help her.
