Duck injured

[Mr.persablesdan]

One of my Runners had gotten stuck in our fence yesterday attempting to fly over. He got his leg stuck and we didn't find him until after we got home from work. He is in a small confined area right now out with his friends or you can see everybody so he's not under a lot of stress about not knowing where he is. He has a lot of swelling on his left leg and can't use that leg at all. His right one is not so bad he can kind of stand up on it so I don't believe that one's as injured. I am wondering if there is any way we can figure out if it is broken or not. Please help thank you

I hope you will post on the duck thread as well for help here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/
Injuries like that may cause a sprain or a break, and sometimes they fight when caught, and can cause more injuries. Sometimes there can be nerve damage.
