Hen with dislocated leg

Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone can help with my problem. I have a Six month old batam who injured one leg. I took her to a chicken specialist who told me she had injured her tendon and it would repair slowly. After two weeks, she was no better and I made an appointment with a vet who dealt with birds. She told me it was in fact dislocated and because of the length of time since the damage would not be able to reset it. I was left with a little bantam who would always have a hobble. The problem now is that her good leg has now given out and she is just sitting. I am making sure she has food and water also giving her boiled egg and honey water but I can feel she is losing weight. I am now thinking that I should have her put to sleep, I really don't want to do anything too soon. She may feel stronger tomorrow. Can anyone give me ideas and advice.

I have moved your post into the chicken clinic section - hopefully you will get some more replies here :D

Sorry to hear about your little hen - I'm afraid the only thing I can suggest is a return visit to the vet to see what the problem is with her other leg. It may be something that could be easily resolved.
