1 yr old Rooster Favoring One Foot?

[Hen Pen Jem]

How low and high up the leg should I wrap? From foot to thigh?

I usually wrap at just above the knee, to just above the spur. This is where the rooster usually twists it's leg.

It's hard to tell where the sprain is on the leg. But, if he is able to walk with just a slight limp with the wrap on the lower leg, you'll know that is where the sprain is. Otherwise, you may have to wrap to the thigh.

Does Buddy have feathered feet?

No feathered feet. He's a Jersey Giant

I'll wrap him up well tomorrow and see how that works. I think a sprain is the most likely case based on everyone's comments. And I can always keep trying other things if that doesn't help. Thanks again everyone! I'll share how he's doing after a day or so.
