Help! Found a poor chicken that fell off a poultry truck

[EmmaDonovan]

Hello! He/she has been doing good! It’s really gotten used to me and and is so sweet . My only issue is still its right leg. Still limping a little so I’ve been wrapping it and stuff. Also, sometimes I can hear it wheezing. Does anybody have any suggestions on his feeding? I feed him 3 times a day. Starter feed so it’s easy to digest.

Thank you for the update, I'm so glad things are going well!

I think it is bumblefoot but a mild case of it. There was brownish stuff on its toes as well but now both his feet are clean and clear except on the middle of his right foot.

Here are some great bumblefoot articles- keep us posted! You're doing great and we are all routing for Peabo!

Good sourcing.

I don't see where anyone addressed the wheezing breathing. Is he still doing it? Could it be dust? Does he have any discharge from his eyes or nares? Hopefully it's not a respiratory disease. If you have Vet Rx, that might help. It can be purchased at TSC or feed stores.

Otherwise, most of us use Tylosin for respiratory issues which can be purchased here:
