Put him in a simmering bath of broth for about 6 hours. Aggressive roos cannot be tolerated around children.

Sorry.

In all seriousness, leg injuries generally heal on their own with no intervention. The only leg injuries I actually do anything about are displaced fractures. A displaced fracture would be readily visible.

Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your injured rooster. Don't know about a simmering bath for 6 hours! But most leg injuries will heal with time. He has lost his place with the flock and doesn't have the ability to defend him self. You will need to keep him separated from the others until he is well and that will take time.

You did the right thing by seperating the rooster and trying to get him time to heal. Since it has been 2 weeks in isolation there should have been some improvement by now. If it's a sprained tendon or ligament it could take weeks or months to heal, or never at all. I've dealt with leg injuries to roosters and the results arnt good. It usually turns into a quality of life issue and I end up having to cull. I've had much better luck with hens though.
