Hi!

Hi!
I have a pet rooster that has a leg issue. He was fine up until last Wednesday. He is 10-11 months old & I have given him PoultryRX & another over the counter liquid to boost his immune system as of last night. When I noticed him standing on one foot I checked his feet but didn’t see anything wrong with them. There seems to be no cuts on him so I am just reaching out for any suggestions.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Could he have sprained his leg or foot jumping down from a high perch? Have you examined the leg for a break? Any swelling?

Welcome to BYC! How badly is he limping and is it improving or getting worse over time?

Thank you! Not sure if he sprained it or not? His roost is maybe a foot & a half off the ground. I wonder if one of the dogs snapped at him bc Smokey will sometimes tease the dogs & they may snap at him. I’m not sure how to examine for a break but I’ve checked his legs & I think they look ok.
