Help!! Rooster with broken leg.

[chickensioux]

Hi, I would put him on antibiotics to be on the safe side. It will not hurt hiim if he does not have an infection and definately help him if he does.

Help from a vet would have been/still would be ideal if at all possible, to be sure to set correctly. Now that a week has passed, this is more difficult.
His lack of eating - PAIN. He needed/needs some pain relief. Five 325mg aspirins crushed per gallon of water (or 1 baby aspirin per cup of water). Do not substitute for aspirin without being sure the alternative is okay for chickens. Hopefully he's drinking?
Ensure maximum nutrition, including some interesting things to eat (sunflower seeds, etc.) to bolster his spirit.

My game rooster broke his leg in a fly, he is hurt pretty bad too but he’s still eating feed and drinking water. I’m following your question for answers also!!

Hey welcome to the site. I’m really sorry to hear about your rooster. This thread is pretty old and you likely won’t see any responses to it. However, you are welcome to start your own thread for a chance at more personalized advice from others for your rooster. Here is a link to the emergency forums where you would post:

If you feel more comfortable staying here on this older thread, I can offer you this splinting manual. But I caution you that sometimes splinting causes more harm than good as splints can be applied too tightly or unnecessarily. A lot of times it just depends on what kind of break has happened and where the break is located. I do urge you to start a personalized thread with pictures of your rooster’s broken leg for the best advice possible from more experienced folks than me out here on this site.
