My 4 week old cockerel has broken his knee joint. I found him laying in the woods on his side with the mother hen and the 2 other chicks sitting by him. When I found him his entire lower leg was lame but he could still move his thigh. Its been about a week and a half and he has been staying in a 40 gallon terrarium on a towel with hay and a heat lamp. He seems to be eating and drinking but I think he is still getting skinny. I dont want to put him down but I dont have the money to go to the vet. What do I do?
