I highly doubt it's broken. The red seems to be typical hormone flush to me. Bruising on chickens is green.

How did his symptoms start the first time? What did they look like?

A video of how he moves may help us as well.

I see i didn't know always Stoughton red


He just started to limp slightly one day then it just got worse you know he eats and drinks fine he even faces off with other birds when he sees them but his cage is high so there's no pecking or anything but he's normal very active just limping


I'll try and snatch a video as soon as I can and post it on yt so I can send the link

That looks very odd. Is that dark area an old scab?

Can't really say I think it's just blood but I will have to check him thoroughly

So he's definitely ouchy, but is somewhat using it.

@Wyorp Rock any ideas?

He is using it more and does apply pressure to it at time and he can move it as well
