Help! baby chicken hurt!?

Question

My friends dad showed up with a baby chicken that their dog got to........ sad story. i dont know what to do, and cant afford a vet and neither can they! She has a puncture wound, and i think her leg is broken. I wrapped her leg up and cleaned the wound very well. She doesnt seam to be in major pain, is still very happy when i hold her, and i am able to get her to drink, but not eat. What do i do! I am the horse dog car expert, but not bird!

Answer 1

Take an egg and scramble it, put a little milk, and sugar and put it in a syringe make sure its not too thick and feed it that. If its really woung then just give it a couple days as the yolk is still in its belly providing food. Hope it helps

Answer 2

It's probably not hungry yet.. Give it time. If it still doesn't eat, push it's head into the food, or put the food in the water.. Just a little in the water tho.

You can make a splint for the leg with a straw. Make the straw lay flat, and tape it to the leg, preferably with medical tape.

Any more questions, email me privately, I've done this tons of times thanks to a cat with leg and wing appetite on chicks....
