How to Care for a Chicken With a Broken Wing
Although chickens do not fly, a broken wing is still painful and may affect their balance. You can spot a broken wing by the way the chicken carries it. The chicken will drag the wing on the ground, or the wing will appear twisted. Treating a broken wing as actually a pretty simple process. The treatment only takes a few minutes, but it takes up to two weeks to heal once treated.
Things You'll Need
Instructions
Move the wing into a natural pose. Hold the bird gently while you do this. You may prefer to have someone help you, as the bird will probably squirm during this procedure.
Wrap gauze around the bird to hold the gauze in place. Use enough gauze to hold the wing securely against the chicken's body.
Leave the gauze in place for two weeks, or until the wing is healed. |
