One of my silkie roosters I thought something was wrong. He had a metal leg band on him that was over his spur at an odd angle, and I thought it was digging into his leg causing him to lose his balance and not want to walk. Well, he has been in the house for two days now, he is fine otherwise, but I noticed yesterday, he does not use his right wing, it just hangs limp. The joint closest to the body feels swollen and like it is possibly out of the socket, certainly not the same as the other side. I am trying to reach a local vet, but might skip that and drive up to Loveland to the Avian vet.
Obviously this would cause him to lose his balance on occasion, I just hope it can be slipped back into place easily, I just wonder if it could also not be put back in depending how long it has been out. Maybe a week? hard to tell, I always thought he was being a lazy bird as he sat outside a lot and didnt move around much. Maybe this is why.
