Hi...my beautiful rooster defended his hens bravely but a young hunting dog had it by the leg.....the neighbour got the rooster back and amazingly it seems like it has only hurt its leg....my husband can feel no breaks in the bones and it doesnt appear to be dislocated...there isnt even any breaks in the skin that we can see but the rooster favors the leg and puts almost no weight on it. We have isolated him in a warm dry place but does anyone else have any experience with this....do they tear ligaments....muscles???? If the leg is dislocated in the joint at the body how would we know? we are fairly new to chickens so any advice would be appreciated
