Welcome everyone new
One of my Orloff girls I raised from a chick was frantically walking backwards a few days ago. She'd duck her head and go backwards. After reading about other people's chickens doing that I was just sick at the thought of possibly having to put her down, I love my Orloff girls. So I got busy giving her vitamins and feeding her anything she'd eat the past few days. I brought her inside to get some more vitamins down her tonight and noticed the apron she wears was all twisted at the straps and tangled up. As soon as I took it off her she started walking normal. It was the apron all along! I've been so relieved all night! But jeez, I felt like an idiot. So she got to go back out with her sisters tonight, I can't believe it was something as simple as that lol

Glad you found it! Sometimes it is something simple - but small...had a friend who had one of her best cows just start to waste away. They went through everything! Come to find (too late) that somehow she had gotten wire wrapped around her tongue.

So glad you figured it out and it was an easy fix.

Ksane, I'm so glad you found that! And I'm glad you don't practice "cull first, ask questions later".

Hi, yes you can splint it. I had a racing pigeon when I was a boy that followed me everywhere I went. He even followed me to school on my bike! Anyway he followed me into the laundry room one day and got his leg snapped in the closing door. I wasn't about to let him die so I splinted his leg (by myself) with medical tape and a popsicle stick cut into with one on each side.Surprisingly he seemed oblivious to this and left it alone. When I finally took the last splint off (there were many) his leg was stiffer than Capt. Ahab's but completely healed and "Pigg" lived another 8 yeras untill I was in high school. This pigeon would come threw my bedroom window and wake me up for school. So,yes you should some how immobilize the break or dislocation cause that probably hurts alot and will never mend. Good luck, God bless J.B.

That is great that the bones will heal when broken. I read the info I posted about a long time ago but never " challenged" it b/c I've never needed to yet.
