Well, it happened. We had our first major chicken injury yesterday. Pansy has a broken wing. I had to look up on the internet what to do about it. We ended up moving the wing back into place and wrapping it close to the body with an ace bandage and safety pinning it into place. Poor Pansy looks so sad and is very subdued, so I know she hurts. She just wants to be left alone in the nesting box. It should take 2 or 3 weeks to fully set. We just need to watch her closely until then and keep the other hens from bothering her. They all are very interested in her bandage. Poor thing.
Awww man. I hope she heals quickly and completely. How did she break it?
ReplyDeleteShe was attacking someone's foot and got kicked. That someone feels really bad about it. (It wasn't me.)
ReplyDeletePoor thing. Hopefully she will be okay. Thanks for the address and for the brief chat! I enjoyed it! :)
