Since chickens only have two legs, it can be hard to keep them off of their other leg. Unless your chicken is a pet, it is best to cull it. If you chicken is a meat breed, it is not possible to keep them, as their legs will keep breaking and they will get heart problems and painfully pass away. If your chicken's leg was broken by a dog, got snagged and broke, it may be possible to fix.

First you need to find a super skinny cardboard tube. You can cut a paper towel roll down to size. You will need to cut the tube the long way up, so that it can be rolled around a chickens leg. You will need to get a humans elastic bandage too.

Now, place the tube around the chickens leg tightly. Use the elastic bandage to keep it in place. You will need to let this stay on for a long time - possibly even 6 months. A vet can do a much better job using x-rays and expensive equipment, but normally won't do anything with chickens. This is not guaranteed to fix the bone, but is about the best you can do on your own.
