Help Splinting a broken leg

[pipAchick]

Hello. It was politely pointed out to me IF any chicken keeper is having leg issues there's a polish thread that has some information.(it does show a chicken with some sections of skin gently pulled back for VET type purposes) its not bloody&does not show chickens face but bones&wrap&muscles are outlined.
Sorry if I'm interrupting.
Enjoy your chickens&good luck helping them heal!

I was wondering if you would share what happened with your chicken. I have a 6 week old chick who seems to have the same problem and I have thought about splinting too.
Thank you,
Laura

Hello Laura, i haven't been on this form for ages, just got a email about your comment. Yes, as for our chicken she healed quite well, and we removed everything after about 2 weeks and she just and a funny wobble/hop in her moment but for all intensive purposes it worked. But she quite a while later died for unrelated reasons (sour crop AND water belly).

I'd be happy to help any way i can. I believe my hen may have just sprained her leg and we over reacted. Best thing to do is to just minimize or stop usage of the suspect damaged area, but make sure not to confine them too much, as in my experience it causes them to deteriorate.

Good luck!
Thomas.
