Wing injury. Dislocated? Broken? Urgent!

[Wyorp Rock]

What does that swelling feel like? Hard, soft/squishy, fluid or air filled?

Any odor?

 

[GermanKennhuhn]

It’s hard, and no noticeable odor.

Can you have a vet look at it?

 

[GermanKennhuhn]

I don’t know.. I’ll have to see if there’s any affordable avian vets in my area. I’ve never needed to see a vet before.
Do you have any idea what could be going on? I assume I can’t treat this myself.
@Wyorp Rock

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Not really sure what that is. Could just be swelling, but I would be concerned there is pus underneath there.

Is there a scab to lift up a bit on the swelling to see if puss comes out? Try that. Use a needle to lift the scab slightly - watch out, stuff might go everywhere! You could poke a needle into it otherwise; if some puss comes out of the poke - but the holes not big enough - use something to knick it. I think it's best it gets drained.

How is the wing's break feeling? Any sturdier?

 

[GermanKennhuhn]

The break does feel sturdier. I’ll see if there’s a vet in the area that I can take him to. Thank you all for your advice.
@Chickinie, I’ll try that if I can’t find a vet, thank you for the advice. I kinda just don’t trust myself draining something so close to the break.

 

[Please help me]

oh no!! sorry i know absoulutely zero about anything chicken related i just know i love them and their adorable- anyone elise relate?

 

[GermanKennhuhn]

So, I never got around to calling the vet
I’ve been ridiculously busy. However, the swelling has gotten much smaller. It’s very small now. Should I leave it alone, and see how it goes? Also, I haven’t been bandaging it lately, he holds it in a pretty normal position now( he’s also really good at getting it off ) Is that fine? I don’t think I can take him to the vet, I can’t spend too much money on a chicken. I would if I could, and I’m very fond of all my chickens, but they’re for profit, so spending more money than I make doesn’t work for me. Thank you all in advance.

Sounds like you already have....and that's fine as there was not much you could do.
Can he move the wing?
Is he eating/drinking/pooping/moving around ok?
