What can you do to help a chicken's broken neck?

Answer 1

If a chickenâ??s foot or leg is broken, then a splint should be applied to the foot. Usually, a fracture of a leg or foot is splinted with special tape. However, a veterinarian should be consulted.

Answer 2

Determine where the break is by feeling the leg. If the bone has broken through the skin either take the chicken to the vet ASAP or humanely kill it. If the skin is not broken, you can splint the leg. Chickens heal incredibly fast. First, wrap the leg in some gauze and then vet wrap. Wrap it straight - as in standing position. Some people will put a popsicle stick but I feel this is uncomfortable for the chicken when its trying to rest. Always keep an injured chicken away from the rest of the flock. They will eat her food and knock her down possibly making the injury worse. Also, she needs to rest to be able to recover. Take care of your baby! She'll be up and at em in a few weeks.

Answer 3

Take it to a veterinarian, they will be able to splint the leg or amputate it if the break is too bad to fix or depending on which leg is broken you might try a piece of poly pipe with cotton wool padding and a bandage to support the break until it is healed or it may just be more economical to euthanase the sheep and put the meat in the freezer.

Answer 4

If a chicken has a broken neck, it is unlikely to survive. The best course of action is to humanely euthanize the chicken to prevent further suffering. You can either consult a veterinarian or practice a method recommended for humane euthanasia.
