How long would you keep a splint on chickens broken leg? I'm thinking around 3 weeks but then again chickens mend fast so am wondering from your experience how long is recommended. I need to separate housing as poor Cordon is now low man in his harem. All was well (as well as a broken leg would be) keeping him in coop with food and water next to him but today, 5 days after incident, he was up for venturing down into pen area so let him be. Two hours later came back to see he'd been pummeled all over his face. So my option is to kennel the two aggressive production reds for a week, that would only give them a 2.5X3' area (I'd wrap 3 sides and top with tarp) or try and work out garage space with neighbors to kennel him there if mending time is longer than I'm guessing.
I just put him in a play house with straw in view of his girls. Wondering how long I should keep the bandage on? This will aid me in determining the housing situation as he's on the mend.
Thanks
