My rooster was attacked by a hawk about 2 weeks ago. In the beginning, all I found were feathers but couldn't find him. After several days, I was calling the other roosters and heard a crowing coming from the woods. I crowed back and we crowed to each other until I found him. He was hopping around in an old dead log. One wing was funky looking, some tail feathers were missing but I was most concerned that he wouldn't put weight on his leg. I brought him home, he cries when I mess with his wing or his leg. I live in a city, so there aren't any "chicken" vets here, I'm on my own. He eats fine, fights with the hens over food, etc. but he still will not put weight on his leg. He is able to hop around the yard to eat bugs and he hops into their house at night. My questions are these: Can a chicken live with just one leg? If I just leave him alone, will this heal itself?
