GrammaBonnies in Apache Junction Arizona. From Arizona, 9 hens, 3 pullets. Do not forage, have huge wire kennels with hardware cloth. 3 coops .

So pullet caught her foot & ankle under edge of cage. (Broken ankle I think) She cannot walk on it, and always ends up on her back. I ck her frequently and turn her back over. Tonight I used pink stretchy tape from Tractor Supply and wrapped foot legs and feet. Separately. Has anyone dealt with this problem.? I am so worried about Hazel my Welsummer. If I left her up and set her next to water and food, she will eat and drink a little. Just cannot walk on it, tries to hop a little. I have had hens for 5 yrs and never had this problem. Cannot forage due to coyote, hawks and Javelina, snakes. So, being retired I still work hard to keep nice hens and coops clean. Help? Any ideas for me? Bonnie

Hi, welcome to BYC, we're glad you joined! Sounds like you take awesome care of your girls! Good job keeping them safe and if I remember your area correctly, there's not that much for them to forage on anyway. You may need to splint that leg but I can't really tell you how to do that. @godlovesyou is right, you may get better responses posting in the Emergencies & Injuries section. Good luck to you!
