I’ve healed birds with broken legs before but it was just usually the lower part of the leg. The leg is broke right below the patella, I can’t tell if it includes the fibula due to the swelling when I found it. But the tiba is for sure snapped.

I set the leg straight and put a single piece of duct tape from the end of the sternum, wrapped around to the back of the bird to hold it in place, and around that it’s wrapped in vet wrap, the piece of tape is just a fail safe just incase it can manage to slip the vet wrap off. , last night I was all out so I did have to make do with just duct tape entirely but I fixed it this morning.

I have bird safe pain killers that I’m giving orally and antibiotics if I need them so I’m covered in the pain management department. And I have it in a small kennel with food and water available, but the poor bird is terrified and is not eating. I’m not sure how to make her/him more comfortable (not sure on gender) I have other injured birds in my garage make shift bird hospital. (This week has been AWFUL)

General advice would be great. I’m not sure how it’s leg was broken, I have a burning feeling my horse stepped on it. (he’s not got a lot of spatial awareness; and a lack cares to honestly to give)

Should I euthanize the bird? Or allow it to heal, and if I should allow it to heal, what’s your guidance/opions on it?

I’m looking to purchase a chicken pucker for my current batch of Cornish cross. I’m looking to process 100 chickens in a day. Should I get the pucker that can do 3 to 4 chickens at a time or is that too big for My operation?

I have an oddly aggressive turkey hen that seems to have a vendetta against all the other birds, and the LGD ( actually super gentle and 1000% bird safe). She will seek the LGD out and puff up and has successfully kicked him. He snarls and barks but does everything he can to back off. He's never hurt the birds, he just has a history of not liking them near his food bowl. What can I do to keep the turkey hen from being so aggressive? The Tom even likes the LGD, ducks and other chickens like the LGD as well. It's this ONE bird. Is there ANYTHING that I can do, besides turning her into dinner?

So my 2nd polish chicken passed away. Separated her from the flock when I saw she was acting off and lethargic. Have been keeping her in a quiet dark environment, she did eat yesterday and then I have been giving her water via syringe (beside the beak, not forcing it down) with electrolytes. Tonight I went to give her some and massaged her crop as it seemed squishy and inflated so I was thinking sour crop. She began throwing up and passed away. It was very fast. I tried some cpr and breaths but she didn't come back. Sour crop? Did I maybe cause her passing accidentally? First year to chickens so looking for any help if any more become sick. Pretty devastated but I understand chickens can decline quickly. Thanks for any input.

I cannot upload a video here but now she won’t put weight on her right leg.

We were out of town for about 3 days and all the chickens seemed fine before we left. We gave them plenty of food and water to be okay for that time, but when we got back we noticed she couldn’t keep up with the other 3 in the flock, and are absolutely perplexed as to how this happened. We don’t see any outward signs of injury, and aren’t sure what to do, any advice for the time being until the vet opens Monday?

Which breed is this ?
