I am sending an update on the young cochin with the twisted leg. He seems to be doing well and is very pretty, the leg really hinders him trying to get around. Looks like he would be better off with the lower part taken off as the foot and toes stick up in the air. I have the wrap around the joint and part of leg so he doesnt get any wounds on it. What about putting him in a sling on a rod, to see if he could move more freely once in a while? I know that your specialty is orthopedics, but i am sure you are very knowledgeable on other problems with chickens and peafowl also, so i am going to ask another question about a 5 or 6 year old cochin hen i have. yesterday she seemed droopy looking and today i left them out for the first time in three week, i picked her up as she seemed to not want to walk much. She has a large swollen area the size of a large orange on her belly, not near the vent. It drags when she walks and there doesnt seem to be a wound but it is a purplish red and the feathers are gone. I dont know what to do for her. do you have any suggestions as to what it could be or what i could do for her. it is very hot here in pa. and hotter tomorrow. She seems to be breathing in a labored way. got on byc, but havent received any info. there. Sorry i know i am a royal pain, but i know you have probably treated about everything to do with peafowl and chickens, thank you donna
