Please help, compound fracture in wing.

[Wyorp Rock]

I'm happy to report that "Nugget" so far seems to be just fine. Still actually uses the wing and I can't believe it never got an infection. We put antibiotic ointment on it for maybe 5 days straight. That was it and she seems to be fine.

I put Mama chicken in a crate in the garage for a few days on a towel not sawdust cuz I didn't want dust to get in there. Now they're on a towel in the crate at night and out during the day with basically all the other chickens. We haven't moved them back into the big pen yet but probably will this weekend due to the holiday and we're going to be gone.

I'll try to get pictures of our little miracle

Glad to hear she's doing fine!
Thank you for the update.

I'm so glad to hear that she's doing better! I also have a chicken named Nugget, but she's a Buff Orpington

I’m afraid it’s too late for my chick with infection. I don’t think I can cut the bone honestly. I’ve just been trying to keep it clean and keep using neosporin. She is eating, drinking, and pooping. We are literally on a “treat and see” basis.

Is your chick ok? We're you able to trim the bone? How old was/is the chick?

This is a different person (I'm the OP). She last shared that she was worried about infection

Right, sorry, late night
Meant to provide a link to their thread. It gets confusing when folks jump on someone else's thread with the same issue. Interesting that you both started a thread on the same day
