If you have read very far down on this forum you have
seen that I want to see a photo of the problem and since
I finally updated to DSL I even can accept video clips
from i-Phones even though I do NOT have one of those due
to a negative cash flow at Townsend house. To get my email
address you have to click on my name where it appears in
blue.
I aggree that this hen needs a lighter load on her feet.
Though she can not live entirely on raw vegetables she
needs to have some chopped celery, romaine lettuce and
raw brocalli.
It is unusual for an adult bird to have this problem.
Most displaced Achilles tendons are caused by a chick in
having a hard time kicking off the eggshell. I have a
very colorful four year old rooster that I treated for
this problem just as soon as his chick fuzz was dry. He
spent just one night in a "chick chair" and was cured
completely.
