Chikens200051 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My chickens leg has been dislocated or something for awhile, I’m not sure what to do. (Not sure how to post pictures via mobile so join this groupme for pictures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Uploading pictures is quite easy from a mobile. Please try and upload a picture and in case of a serious injury and a disabled chicken, please contact a vet. Maybe you can tell a bit more about her symptoms and how you think it happened.

soapdragon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 A dislocated leg sounds as though she needs a vet pretty quickly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikens200051 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 (Accidentally made a second forum, just ignore that one) Is there anything I can do other than the vet? I feel like they wouldn’t do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 That really doesn’t look good and looks very painful. You really should contact a vet as soon as possible. If she can’t stand properly, she can’t get herself to get food or water either. If the vet can’t help, at least they can do the kindest thing and end suffering.

mullethunter Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 You have to find a decent avian vet and take her as soon as you can. Whether that’s a break, a dislocation or a slipped tendon, whatever it is that’s definitely not something you could humanely deal with yourself.

soapdragon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes, def vet. She could well be in pain or distress. Also, if she is weak or showing signs of weakness there is the possibility that one or more of your others start to 'pick' on her. This happened to a friend in the village; her dominant girl turned on the injured bird and the pecking from the bullying was worse than the original injury.

Beantree Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Could be a bite and could be her leg got stuck somewhere but either way an urgent trip to the vet. Certainly not a condition than can be left untreated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
