Went to check and clean my flock just now and noticed one was hopping around, so I've brought him inside, cleaned him up and noticed he has a broken left leg with what i believe is a hip bone protuding through skin and damaged right leg. What can I do about it?? This is my first flock.
His names Hagrid BTW

If you have extra boys and don't need him, I'd cull. If you do want to keep him, I had success with a broken legged hen a few months back--I moved her to her own little enclosure (a spare Rubbermaid) and set up water, food, and calcium where she should reach all by just stretching out her neck. She pretty quickly figured out how to hop around on the leg, and it fully healed (with a limp) by about 6 weeks, and I reintroduced her to the flock, where she did great. So trying that is definitely an option! I'm not sure if it would functionally work for a roo, though, since a limp might impact their ability to mount the hens.

Edit: Noticed that you mentioned it had broken the skin--make sure to put on plain Neosporin (without pain meds, they're toxic to birds) if you do try to heal him! But that's definitely going to complicate things. My hen has a closed wound, so I didn't have to deal with infection risk. If he were mine I'd just cull, but I have an extra roo in the wings ready to take over his duties.

If a vet isn't an option, I would recommend culling. If you really don't want to cull, pain killer free antibacterial ointment and a warm, clean, isolated healing environment is in order. The protruding bone is a problem, though. Even with ointment, it's likely to get infected, which is a recipe for a slow, painful death.

Good advice already. Reiterating that a compound fracture means big infection risk, even with vet care—keep a close eye on the wound if you decide to give him a chance. No guessing what mobility will be like if he does heal. Good luck regardless.

Topical antibiotics are not effective on deep/bone wounds!!! Your bird must be on oral or injectable antiobiotics until the bone is covered with granulation/scar tissue or it will die of sepsis or develop a chronic infection and never be quite healthy until it dies suddenly of sepsis. A closed fracture can heal nicely with cage rest, an open fracture, especially of the hip joint is a nightmare. Either get it on some serious meds or cull the poor thing, it is an awful way to die. Don’t fret about ‘pain meds’ in your neosporin, it is an uncommon ingredient and while birds are more sensitive to lidocaine than mammals, the dose in a topical preparation is still fairly small and is not being given orally or systemically (unless you pointlessly squeeze the whole tube into a deep laceration!) so the risk of toxicity is small. There are no good pain med options for quail, steroids can be used short term but long term lead to immune suppresssion and slow healing.

Although immediate care is the goal here....how did this bird get in this condition?...that issue needs to be throughly analyzed, so it doesn't happen to the rest of the covey!
