Bird Smashed Up

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

YB Returned from bad toss on sunday morning.Seems one leg is hanging off.Bird has no power to move it.

 

 

 

Can anyone suggest a treatment?never seen this before.

 

 

 

Other than this the bird is eating and drinking ok

 

 

Funny just reported a y/b at about 11-30 Soltire picked it up at about 2ish (Fife)

 

and our bird landed on loft at half two.

[just ask me]

depends how bad it is usually i just make splint for them if you think its real bad you can put a splint on the bird and suspend the bird a pair of womans tights is perfect for the job just make sure he has access to water did have a hen where she came back with half her leg gone she was perfect as hen to keep my one of my cocks happy and after a very short amount of time moved about no problem at all

Sounds like the leg is broken at the top of the leg, put it in a nest box with a deep bed of shavings. Keep it there for 3 weeks, tough wee buggars and its amazing how they will heal themselves.

Cleansed and with just one / two tops, wraps with a very thin cloth / mesh. Then wraping with sellotape. This will strengthen into a split. 2-3 weeks, soak in soapy water to remove.

Have joined back a leg that was busted next to the body, plus many others unfortunately, sin

Have 1 in the same condition, it has been in a nest box for about 10 day and is starting to put some weight on his leg again , should be ok in another week or so .

I tend to put the bird in a widow hens box with a deep nest bowl with wood chips. Tried suspending in woman's tights they tend to struggle and fall out eventually

[fletch]

have found that they come on better if you can put them in a box in yb section were they feel at home,

deep litter and it will mend

[Guest stb-]

super glue the burst skin together and leave in a box of deep shavings as gareth said

 

as long ase theres blood still circulating the flesh it will heal fine , if not will wither and drop of

if it is just paralysed no outward injury put it into a nest box for a week with food and water it can reach. One day about 7 -10 days it will be standing on it then you can begin letting it out inside the loft to keep its wings supple. Then after 2 weeks let out of loft and treat as the rest of your birds.
