One of our chickens has undergone an operation to save her leg.  We opened the coup one morning to find she had broken her leg.  We rushed her to the vet in Paarl who gave her anesthetic whilst he took an x-ray, put a pin in and then bandaged the leg.  She is now recovering in a small pen beside the main chicken area, and is laying again!.
