I'm not really sure what happened, but I came home one day and my roosters been limping ever since, I don't know how to tell if there's a sprain or a break I'm going to attach pictures

I'm certainly not an expert, but he looks ok(?) to me. If it's just a limp and he's not looking like he's in pain, he's probably going to be ok.

I've found that a half of a baby aspirin daily for a few days (usually less than a week) is magic in making this sort of thing disappear. I like to separate a chicken from the flock while I'm doing that to keep an eye on them, but you might not need to if your rooster is as easy to handle as it looks in your pics.

Good luck!

Edit: I like to put the 1/2 pill in a spoonful of wet cat food (the fish kind) to make them take it. The extra protein can't hurt either.
