My Rouen hatched too many babies and isn't taking care of them. One guy ran though the pig pen and the pig broke its leg on accident! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Collect ALL the excess ducklings. Take them inside and brood them yourself.

The guy with the broken leg you can splint. Get it in a straight position and place a rigid item along side it (popsicle stick). Wrap it in some medical tape it something. Might want to use a stick on both sides of the leg. Good luck!

Thank you! But my mom is just going to leave it because its broken all the way at the top of its bone. Not sure what its called but it would be us breaking the bone to our hip. Plus the skin somehow got ripped off to the point u can see the flesh of its thigh. We tried to get the bone to go back in but it won't.

My mom didn't wanna snip the skin hiding it on in case there was a big artery still attached . So right now I'm holding it with a blanket and keeping it comfy

Sounds very serious, you may want to think of euthanizing the poor little thing. Or taking it to a vet, because infection is very possible with an injury like this.

I agree. Kindest thing to do is to stop the little ones suffering. It is very hard to put a little one down but sometimes it is for the best. (Hugs)

Okay guys... I'd have to wait until my mom got home but it's crazy! It wants to snuggle under my neck so he run around all over the blanket I have on me. And he peeps but its not like a screaming peep. I'm not sure how he's lived this long because its open
