Yes I think so

Go read that thread linked above real quick.

Ok I read it, however the bone is so much more out then my hens is, and I’m not sure if it necissarily will require amputation. I guess I’m just looking for advice on if I should put her down, or is there a way to fix her so she can have a good life?

Sorry about your hen. Thats a horrible wound. And keeping that broken bone there is probably only gonna cause issues if you try and help her (not an expert on the issue)

I'm afraid the bone sticking out/ broke in half like it is is a bad thing.

I'm thinking it needs to come off.


If she were mine I'd put her down because I wouldn't want to deal with it.

Ok, I read that in that forum she brought the bone down with nail clippers. What would I have to do and how far would I have to go? I’ll check for vets in the area one last time

I’m so sorry this happened. Please, please go to a vet. If that’s not an option, cull her to save her the misery . Do not cause her pain trying to deal with bone and such a severe injury yourself.

Raptor spent a LOT of time, daily, for a month plus to nurse her boy back to health.

Is this something you can do?
You will need to figure out what to do with the exposed bone first then daily cleaning and dressing of the wound.
You will have to cross your fingers keep it all clean and hope infection doesn't set in.


A vet is your best bet, they will be able to take the bone off and teach you how to clean it and dress it and be able to give you antibiotics.

I don’t think I would be able to be as involved as raptor was. I will do my best to find a good vet. Thank you so so much for all y’alls help

Can you keep her inside to keep flies away from it?

Yes she is currently in the garage in a large crate. She’s warm, eating drinking and pooping.
