That doesn't look too bad. Are you sure it's broken?

I dont know anything... ive been sick this week, and i use human bandaids and some
I had hit him with a stick ( i was mad due to our silkies getting injured by him feathers torn off, chased them under the house and even into the chicken house)


Triple antibiotic, people in the past recommended that if you do not have the type for birds..


thank you for the advice, i thought because there was lot of swelling at the foot it was broken

I guess i will rebandage for now... it has been 3 days since his injury (happened Thursday night)

If you cannot feel a broken bone (it doesn't look broken to me), do not splint it, and it probably doesn't need to be wrapped either.

So no bandage? i just watched him limp around in a circle. I thought the bone was broken because when he walks the part bends a bit

Hmm, i was concerned about the foot thats why i thought broken leg

With it bending like that I think it's broken.

What supplies do you have on hand. Be specific or if you can, just take a picture of what you have.

I agree, that I would splint it. Pad carefully, and don’t get it too tight. Here is a video of a similar fracture:
