Wow that’s great that she survived all that! How old is she now? Can she perch? Does she lay eggs?My splayed leg chicken is doing fine.
She displayed the splay at about 6 weeks and it was both legs.
I did everything including the elastic circles with a short piece of drinking straw between and minerals in the water etc.
One leg healed but the other leg was hopeless and dragging her down.
One day she got caught between a board and the chicken wire of the run with the bad leg against the wire.
A squirrel chewed off her bad leg. I was certain she would die but gave her antibiotic in water and hand fed her.
She recovered and it is now 5 months later and she hops around with the other hens. She never got very big - about half size. She will always be the bottom of the pecking order but the other hens don't pick on her.
Good luck.
One of our chicks developed splay leg and we were only partially successful in treating it. She is about half the size of the others and at 8 weeks all the others are roosting but she stays on the floor at night. My husband wants to put her down - but she’s too small to even harvest for meat and I’d like to give her a chance. I’m even wondering if she’d be better off if we amputated the bad leg.
