Guinea fowl leg injury

[Greenivy1]

Our guinea fowl had his leg caught in vines. The vine was twisted around his ankle and hip. It appears he tried to free himself and caused the vine to twist tightly around his leg. His leg/foot is facing outward and having difficulty walking and keeping up with the rest of the flock. Any ideas on how to help him?

Check to see if the tendon has slipped out of the hock joint. If it has, extend it's leg and try to pop it back in. You may need to secure it in place while it heals.

Guineas have very fragile legs. Be careful.
