hurt rooster please help

Hi!
I just had a silkie roo with a similar problem. He was badly limping- occasionally falling over and when he walked with his toes curled under him. I figured out he had a broken knee by holding the legs side by side and lightly bouncing both legs side by side. The broken leg that he had been limping on was much more floppy, and when I felt around the joint I could feel a crack.
To splint his leg I first did a thin layer of vet wrap, then cut a small piece of a garden hose to the size of his leg and wrapped that with duct tape (making sure not to let it stick to his feathers). I also separated him and he is currently healing well.
Hope this helps!
