Help! Found roo hanging!

Thanks! I did put one in one corner to see if he wants it. It is cooler in our house than the coop, and he is a little wet from bringing him up during a downpour. Glad I brought him up, it is still pouring and thundering! Hope he has a good rest and is more comfortable tomorrow!
Thank you, all!

Well, he made it through the night. Still spending most of his time sitting on his feet, but he can stand. He is not eating much if anything. He drank some yesterday, not sure about today. Still gasping some. I am planning to keep him in again tonight and see if being around the ladies perks him up some.
Any other ideas? Anything to look out for? Thank you!

Ok, good progress so far. He rested in the house in a covered crate Monday night, Tuesday and Tuesday night. He didn't drink much and ate even less. He was definitely dejected! I took him back down to the run this morning and he perked up as soon as he could hear the girls. He is standing, walking, eating, drinking and crowing! But he is moving slowly and limping a bit, but much happier with his flock. Hoping for a full recovery...I want a baby boy from him...so far only 6 girls...go figure!

That's great news, it sounds to me like he just missed his girls for the most part. I'm glad he is doing better!

Thank you! He is definitly limping and sore, but I am glad he is much more happy with his girls! He looks like he is tired, after limping all day. Hope he continues to heal!

Have you done anything with the liner that he got his leg stuck in?

 

[carolinasculpture]

Oh, yes, immediately! Right after I got him settled into the crate, I got rid of that! Still can't figure how he managed to get it pulled out from under the SweetPDZ, over the lip and hook his spur into it...but it is no more!

That's good

Just an update...my Roo seems to be doing really well. I think he has lost the sheath on the spur that got caught and he has a small limp. Other than that he seems to be doing really well! Phew! So far it doesn't seem that he has been fertilizing any eggs, but he is getting older and didn't get them all before. We are hoping for a full recovery, thank you for all your help!
