I have read a number of previous threads here and see mixed ideas on a course of action. First, he has no sores on his feet. He is keeping his left leg completely lifted up and not putting any weight on it. He is acting fine otherwise, eating, drinking, crowing, mating. He mainly sits most of the day.

I don't know what happened to him, maybe landed wrong or something and it's been a couple weeks. I cannot determine with any certainty if it's his foot or leg. Nothing seems to be swollen.

The others are not picking on him at all, so no need to remove him for that reason. But, would it be better for him to completely rest it or is it better that he is getting some movement?

Other courses of treatment I should be doing? He is young and about 7 lbs, so not full grown yet.
