Broken wrist advise needed

[Granny Hatchet]

Hi all, I have a new to me tolbunt rooster (couple weeks) that I just checked on and he seems to have a broken wrist and swollen leg. The wing tip will raise straight up or any way I want to move it. The last couple flight feathers are dragging and the leg on the same side is mildly swollen. I dont have a clue. He is in my best coop w/ seramas and I did that just so he could be top chicken w/ no worries. Only thing I can guess is the place I got him kept him in such a way he couldnt fly up and here he can.
He is a young guy but full grown . I am not sure a wrap would help this break .
I am totally heart broke disgusted. No luck with polish . I didnt treat anything. I sat him back down and walked away.

It would probably be best to separate him from the other birds. Keep him warm, electrolytes and high protein diet. Probably if you could wrap his wing to his body with vet wrap it will heal better.

I can attempt to wrap it in the am. Not sure I have an isolation cage right now.

I was thinking even one leg of pantyhose pulled over the body would work.

I will need a better exam . xray would be nice. I can say the break is around 1/2 in. in so maybe its the hand.
