Hi
My Peahen developed a limp a couple of weeks ago which has now got much worse to the point that she can't put her weight on her injured leg at all. She still roosts high in the trees at night with her male and their four offspring. I suspected that she may have damaged her leg flying down and landing heavily in the morning but today, to my horror, she's developed something like a pointed white-ish male spur sticking out the back of her leg. I'm fearful that it might actually be a piece of bone and that she's broken her leg. Has anyone else had a leg break that looks like that?
