Update/ Help

[Sam and Beth]

so around three weeks ago my hen rebel broke what we presumed to be her upper leg we wrapped her leg after doing a lot of research and we checked it very week and made sure her toes stayed warm. today we decided to check it again and she is now moving her leg up and down and her upper leg feels less broke yay. But she still won't stand on it her toes have like no hold to them if that makes since so i don't know what to do now. my mom found out that maybe wrapping her toes in the right position would work but i am not sure. Any help would be really appreciated. please and thank you.

Ummm feels "less broke"? It's either broken... or it's healed. If still broken, it may be too late after three weeks for you to set and splint it to allow it to heal properly. I would recommend that as the next procedure... Try to set the leg and splint it so the bone ends can heal and re-bond to each other. This will be a 4-6 week process and you can't be removing the splint every week. It needs to stay on for at least 4 weeks. Wrap it tight, but not too tight where it cuts off circulation. You don't want those bones moving around once splinted. they need to stay in place. You can use Popsicle sticks split to size or the like as support braces within the splint.

If a break is not set well, with the bones aligned properly, it may take longer to heal than a properly set fracture. Sometimes the way it's broken or where it's broken makes it harder to set properly, so it's going to take longer. I would give it a few more weeks to really give it time to knit well.
The best analogy I can think of is like when you cut a branch off a tree and it forms a bark scab over the cut, if the cut is clean it will cover faster than an irregular, jagged cut will. The more gaps the bone has to fill and cover at the break, the longer it will take. Hope that makes sense.
Are you using a chicken sling to help take the weight off?
