So I know this is for chickens but I have a question and this seems most likely to get answered on here. So my rabbit thistle just kindled and I don't know how to keep her warm. And how to make sure she is feeding ECT.

Also a dog got into my chicken pen today. My rooster go a bite on the leg how can I help it.

So you might want to move this tread or make a new one in "injuries-diseases-cures for your question about your rooster and for the rabbit, umm, other animals? Idk
About your rooster's leg can he walk? If you can you should separate him and make sure nothing gets in his wound (if there is one) clean it.

Okay and he can walk but like my other hen he is to fluffy to tell if their is a bite or not. Hr is just so sweet (rare for a roo) but thank you

Good, I'm glad he can walk. Maybe just give him extra high protein treats and moninter him. I don't really know how bad it though so if I'm giving you advice that you don't need, please feel free to ignore me!
 
Can you post a pic of your rooster's leg injury? Clip the feathers if necessary so we can see. Best to do this at night when he is roosting so you don't gave to chase him. Is he using that leg when he walks, putting weight on it? Is he eating, drinking, pooping okay like normal?

Sorry my phone died but yes it looks like he just twisted an ankle or got tossed. He is pooping and eating the same. still trying to figure out how to send a picture butI have checked on him every couple hours and he is doing a bit better let me figure out how to send pictures and I will post one of them too.

You need to pick up your rooster and check his leg very carefully to make sure there are no bite wounds. If there are the area needs to be cleaned and perhaps treated with antibiotics. Bite wounds are prone to infections, some serious. As for your rabbit, if you have a good nest box the bunnies should be OK. Adult rabbits can handle cold a lot better than they can tolerate heat,
