chicken hurt- is there any help?

Points

Asked by ownerindistress 1 year ago in pets

My 2 year old chicken is limping and favoring her left leg. I felt her foot and it feels pretty solid, but I am not an expert. She has been like this for two days and I am worried about her getting egg bound. There are no vets who help poultry in my town and I need help!

If your chook was to become eggbound the first sign would be a very pooy ass. Egg bound or not it's just not worth taking a chook to the vet .It might sound cruel but it's a bit like taking a goldfish to the vet, it's not worth it.If she has been bruised this could cause limping and she will come good.
