I love a good diagram, and these are fantastic!I would separate him, especially if he is with another cockerel or rooster. He also may benefit from sitting in a chicken sling next to food and water (see below.) Here are some good articles about splinting broken bones:

......except I don't think that the bottom one doesn't match the top one for orientation.
Holes layout should be rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise?
......and the poop hole should probably be bigger.
I can't tell the orientation of the birds body from this pic...is that the bare belly near the tail at the bottom of pic?
Main, mid, first....try using wrist, elbow, hip for description. The hock joint is where our elbow is. This is the most commons dislocation but it's unclear where yours is.
If it is indeed the hock you need a splint. Popsicle sticks work great and gauze or medical tape. Full dislocation will result in a peg leg when healed. I had a big Orpington that got around just fine after he healed up. We set the leg with slight bend, hopping it would be usable but hedging it would be stiff when healed. It was stiff, the slight, natural bend seemed to work best for his getting around after.
A dislocated hip would be tricky but anywhere else along the leg your making splint or if only bruised a wrap. If dislocated you need to pop into place or hold in proper position prior to splint and/or wrap.
