Two days ago i found one of my 3 month old roosters with a broken wing.
I felt so bad for the poor bird, it couldnt walk becasue its wing was dragging on the ground and it kept tripping over itself.
so i went back to them yesterday and useing directions i found on here, I duct taped a wood stick to the wing that i folded into a natural position, then vet wrapped the wing to his body. This seemed good, until he tried to walk. balance is very difficult. and a few back flips later, he was still having difficulty standing. he is now living in a rabbit hutch, with food and water of course, so it limits his mobility. When i left, he was still having trouble walkng. i cannot get bakc out there till tuesday, and if he is still having trouble walking, what should i do?
Is there any reason for this instabilitY? or do most birds have trouble walking once their second wing is bandaged to the body?
Note: I did slit the vet wrap near the legs and make sure it wasn't covering the legs so yes, he does have full range of motion of his legs.
