Hello everyone I really need some help! One of my three month old Easter egger Roo can’t use his left leg. What should I do?

At first he was just hopping around on one leg. I thought he might recover. Now he can’t put any weight on that foot. If he tries to, the foot just folds under.

I checked the leg for breaks or cuts and he never made a peep.

next day he is sitting on the ground with an open wound.

I am isolating him because he is getting picked on and is having trouble getting to food and water.

Can you please take several photos of the wound?

General care for wounds is to clean with saline, chlorhexidine or similar and apply triple antibiotic ointment.
