Help!!!!! Buff Orpington fractured leg

[Ginmary]

We couldn’t make a decision on the spot so We asked them to splint/wrap it right now and we’ll take her home. I figured it will give us a chance. I’ll get pictures later.
they are now saying that the splint will only be a baindaid until we can come back to euthanize

Did they confirm a fracture with an X-Ray? If so, where is the fracture!

The fracture is right at the leg joints here the bare leg ends and the feathers begin. It moves very freely like nothing is attached inside

I took a video before they took her in to Wrap
the leg. We’re trying to get it uploaded on YouTube.

Sorry about your hen. It does look badly broken. I would probably have had it splinted as well. You can take her home and think about how to proceed. I do not know if she can get over this, but you could see how it goes with splinting and rest. Someone else who has treated a broken leg might be better to advise you.

I watched the video and to me it does not look like any of the broken legs I have seen.

So let me ask the question again... Was an X-Ray done?

An X-Ray was not done.

To me, the joint, just above the joint, and just below the joint, look okay. I see no swelling or discoloration.

The 2 birds that input under anesthesia both died. A goose we had several years ago broke it's leg and it was dangling. Spent over a 1,000 should have been more but the vet felt bad after she died and didn't charge us. The surgery was a success and he fixed her leg with a rod, but again she never regained consciousness. The other was a duck who again I spent several hundred to try to have an egg removed that was on her ovary and she also died as she never woke up from the anesthesia. In her case, I think she also died from sepsis due to the egg being inside of her for so long. I would get antibiotics and try to set it using a rod from the outside. So sorry about your poor chicken
