Immobile Pullet

[baby-blue]

A good friend of mine is giving me one of her lovely Araucana pullets who got mounted very roughly by a roo. After being mounted, the pullet has been unable to walk. When I briefly saw her, her foot was swollen and I presumed broken, but the friend of mine believes her leg is dislocated. I’m going to get videos of her moving tomorrow and I’ll feel her over better too. What could be done if the leg is dislocated? Any other tips? I’m going to start her on aspirin once I have her to help with any pain and swelling and I plan on getting some preparation H as well. Thank you!

Instead of Prep H, which isn't advisable for chickens, I suggest you use hydrocortisone cream. Can she stand at all? If the leg is broken or dislocated, she wouldn't be able to stand.

I’ll pick up hydrocortisone cream instead then. Thank you!
My friend said that she’s not able to walk and just flops over when trying to. The visible part of the leg didn’t appear broken when I saw her this past Sunday, but I also only saw her very briefly.
