GO TO PAGE 6 FOR THE SPLAYED LEG POST
Hi everyone, I have ANOTHER problem. A couple weeks ago my hen hatched out 3 chicks. The hen is just to young to
take care of babies. All died exept one, and the bigger chickens broke the chick's leg, and injured his wing. He is in a cardboard box in the house right now. He doesnt seem to be in pain supprisingly...he hops around using the one good leg, and his wings.
I tried to post pics, but I don't know if it worked, but incase it didn't work here are some details:
_______________________________
His leg was COMPLETELY backwords.
The under part of his wing is dark purple and looks swollen.
(also bleeding a bit) and he keeps it held back behind his head
_______________________________
We don't really want to put him down. so any help on fixing the leg would be great.
