broken wing
« on: December 31, 2011, 14:37 »
 :(  Just gone to feed my young chickens (about 4 months) and in their mad panic to get to the good bits one of them now has a broken wing.  No chance of getting it to a vet until after the new year, so i was wondering if i could strap it up somehow?  I have not come across this before so have no idea what to do for the little thing.  I have put it on its own and it is eating and drinking normally but i am now at a loss as what to do.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for that.  I wanted to strap it but was unsure, a little bit of knowledge from someone else is all the encouragement i need to give it a go myself.  Again many thanks from me and the chook     :blink:
