My hen, sunny, got her toe tangled in a string from a feed bag ( I'm can't believe I missed it!) This evening I found her dangling inches above the growing by her toe.
I've brought her inside as it's well below zero here ( not in the coop, but she is SO cold)
Her toe is broken but her hip and foot seem alrightish. She is stiff and falls over backwards without assistance. I've warmed her with a blow drier,( it's what I had). She is now wrapped in a towel to prop her correctly and has a heat pad on her back and another on her belly. I tried the smallest amount of Kato syrup but she can't lift her head and I'm afraid of respiratory distress if I force it. Anything else????
