HELP URGENT WING RIPPED OFF

Make sure you go check with the vet or call I agree that the bone should be amputated.

He is the sweetest! I am very happy you got him to a vet. Is he back with the flock?

Not yet, he was part of a Foster experiment, in which we bought a batch of eggs from a local farm raise them, and give them back as adults, to support the farm as it was struggling due to covid. The others had already gone back because they were healthy and our permant flock would just harm him due to their pecking order. Hopefully in the next week or so we can take him there, where he will be with the mini flock he was raised with and be kept in the petting zoo area which he will love because its very social. We live quite close so we can visit all the chickens we raised often.

Thanks for the update, and glad that you were able to get him foxed up by the vet. It is easy to become fond of one that has been nursed back to health.

Do you have bandage wrap you could put around it ? It would help with the healing.

He didn't need one in the end

Glad he's recovering. Tomatoes, or any other human food from the nightshade family not particularly good for chickens though. Might want to ask the vet about it. My 2 cents.

Oh yeah, they said its fine in moderation, but make sure they don't eat the tomatoes leaves or flowers because it's toxic or something

I have read that all parts of the plant contain the toxin solanine with the heaviest concentration being in the leaves and stems. Is this accurate?

You are correct. Tomatoes are fine but not raw potatoes they have lots of solanine. But raw tomatoes not so much.

I'm not sure, he was a free range egg from a farm that we hatched, but that seems likelyView attachment 2426662View attachment 2426664
This is him as a little chick
(he had splayed leg)

Looks like a little belgian bantam to me
