Hey ya'll about 2months my dogs mauled my hen. Her toes were facing the oposit way her leg was just hanging and dangling. I was going to put her down but I just coulent find myself to do it. Many people told me to end her suffering. So I brought her inside and put her in a dog kennel. I fed her her regular food, very small amount of grape jelly to wake her up and make her happy(she loves it) and I have her half of a baby asprin twice a day. It seems as if she broke her hip or her leg very high up in there. So I wrapped her leg in guaze and put two popsicle sticks and then taped it lightly so she can have good circulation. I then used the bandage called coflex ( those bandages they put on you when you get blood work that stick to themselves) And I put her lef close to her chest and taped it arond her and under her wings. I left it there for about a week. A week later I took it off to see how it was doing. I saw a little improvment and put it bak on. In the morning she complelty ripped it off so I left it off. And let mother nature take its course. People told me that she will never be the same and that it was cruel and blah blah blah. I mean i guess that the case in some chickens. My chicken is now running around with her other sisters and occasionaly has a little limp when she runs. So if you chicken broke its leg PLEASE give them a chance! Sometimes it just takes a little bit of patience and work but they still have a chance to come around and heal. How would you like it if they cutyour head off for breaking a leg?
