Hi everyone!
Calling on your wisdom once again.
We have a broiler rooster who has hurt his leg jumping down from our outdoor table (ahem) and also running around doing usual silly rooster things. We've had him in a (very) small pen to rest his leg and it is improving - however - once he's 100%, I know that 'boys will be boys' and he'll start running around and putting pressure on his dodgy joint once again. His brother chases him sometimes, but they miss each other when they're separated, so I'd like to put them back together if possible.
He's not for eating. We'd just like him to live out his relatively short life in comfort and happiness, and not restricted to a small pen.
Is there any kind of leg brace for adult birds that anyone here uses?
This is all based on the assumption that the sprain / strain is in his hock joint and not his thigh joint.
Thanks!
