I fixed a broken chicken leg once (same thing, my son had stepped on it). I laid the chicken down, put the leg in the correct position, wrapped it with some gauze, splinted it with two pieces of "kinex" one on each side, then wrapped it with another layer of gauze, then duct taped it! I was careful not to make it so tight that it was constricting. She gradually started using it and in a couple of weeks she was walking on it again. I changed the bandage one time after about a week, and took it off at about three weeks. It healed perfectly! I did this the day it got broken- so that may be why it healed so well... but just thought it was a good story to share
