Today, my chicken had surgery.

Yes, today, one of my chickens had surgery. We found she had broken her wing in 2 places and her wing was holding on by some tissue. We thought it would fall off all by itself but it didn't. So then we had a choice: Shotgun or vet. Well, she's so sweet I didn't want to kill her. So this morning she went to the vet. Anaesthesia, surgery to remove most of the wing and now she's recovering in my bathroom. She's an Easter egger that looks like a Welsummer with buffs and beard. Loves to be hugged and cuddled. Maybe you think I'm stupid spending $130 on a $3 chicken, but seeing her eat, drink and talk to me makes it all worth while. Ellen.

Well congrats on helping her!!!
I wish her a speedy recovery!

When she feels better can you do a photo shoot with her new wing?

It's not about the money, when you love your pets you do what you think is best for them. I am glad you helped her instead of putting her to sleep.i am sure you will get many more days of chicken hugs.

As long as your happy with your choice, it doesn't matter what others think! It's your money and your choice to use it how you want too.
Hope she has a speedy recovery!

I'll try to take some pictures. Not much to see though. Mostly a missing wing.

I am wondering how your girl is doing today? I hope she recovers quickly.
