Injured Leg

[helpmychickens]

Hello! My chicken has an injured leg. I’ve had this happen before with another chicken and the solution I did was put it in the grass pile to heal since it’s a soft surface and gave it food and water. That other chicken healed fine. This is the second time I’m doing this method.
I just wanted to make sure that the position of the chicken is fine and that it can breath properly. Is my positioning for the food and water okay? I feel like she has trouble drinking from the water in this position. Feedback and advice appreciated!

You may want to make a chicken sling chair to get her upright with food and water in front of her. These are easily made from everyday objects. Here is some info:

Do you have a rooster or young cockerel who could be injuring your hens’ back? How high are your roosts? This video is in the first link, but it is good to see how easy it is for eating and drinking:
