Next, look for any thorns, bones sticking out, or just anything that looks REALLY out of place. For my hen, I found nothing. If you don't either... please read on!!! Next, I soaked her in warm Epsom salt water. Chickens actually seem to enjoy this procedure, so whenever I spot an injury this is always a to-do. I soak her in the water for 10-15 minutes. After I soak her, I dry her then place her in the warm, dry dog crate. Then, I crush up one 81mg baby aspirin for every three pounds of her body weight. My hen needed two, so I crushed them up and sprinkled the pieces on a favorite treat. Pears and apples seem to work best. Within a few days she seemed to be walking fine so I put her out with the other hens. its been 2 days since she's been out there, and nothing seems wrong with her.
