My rooster suffered an attack yesterday. He's not bleeding, he's in a box in the house. Drinking with a dropper. No food.
His neck appears broken, but how could he be alive? He's wants to stand but can not support his head. I have a towel supporting his neck in the box. He's breathing normal, eyes attentive.

No vets near bye dealing with fowl. Mobile exotic vet house call is $200. Sad. Is there an option or is non recoverable?

5lbs. Was healthy.
 
I did find a similar post. Using that as a starting point. This am will be day two and we'll see how he's doing.
 
You can use rolled up bath towels to help support his neck, he may just be very bruised and sore. Help him to eat and especially drink, so he doesn't become dehydrated, fluids should be room temp to slightly warm. You can also mix his feed (pellets or crumbles) with some water to make a mash, that will help with hydration also. B vitamins can be helpful, a human b complex tablet or capsule once daily.
