Max the rooster

[Sophia_1]

This is about Max, a rooster. I don't have a picture of the injury, but his wing is drooping after he attempted to fight my husky. The situation was broken up quickly, and he has no other injuries aside from the drooping wing, which I have wrapped in vet wrap. I've also noticed that he has been showing signs of bullying from the other chickens. I have some animal rehabilitation training, but I don't know much about chickens because they belong to my in-laws. We are unable to separate Max from the flock, which includes three other roosters. Any advice or comments would be appreciated; I want to ensure I'm doing everything correctly.

It would be good to find a way to separate him out so he can recover without having to deal with bullying and navigating 3 other roosters. Especially if he's wrapped, it's going to be hard to defend himself.

Temporarily fence off a section of run, put him in an outbuilding/shed, etc.

You are there to access the severity of his injury/wing. If it's broken, then wrapping may be the appropriate thing to do.
