PLEASE HELP! Pullet has a broken leg

[Holew-L]

The hen healed, but she has a hobble and shell just have to learn how to live with it. Thanks for all your help.

I'm glad she healed. It's not quite one month since your first post, so you might continue to monitor it. Sometimes if the bone is not set properly into the correct position then complete healing can take longer. Probably another 3 or 4 weeks to be completely sure. If she's still limping some that might mean that it just hasn't had quite enough time to knit 100% just yet.

My Sapphire hen also healed although she limped. But a month or so later a rowdy young rooster got after her and her leg got rebroke in the process. I kept her confined longer the 2nd time and eventually even the limp went away. So be careful with her for as long as you can.

Yes I will. I’m not going to put her with the laying flock with the big roosters like intended, I will put her with a bachelor bantam Buff laced polish. Lol. He has managed to make babies with standard chickens so I think they will work out and have babies that look cool

Update #2 (Last One)

My pullet, which i have named "Saffie" is doing great. She started laying eggs almost exactly at 4 months old and she is now with my bantam BLP rooster. All is well and thanks for all your help!
