I let my chickens out this morning and my rooster is limping bad and falling down I picked him up and looked couldn't really see any visible wounds leg seemed to move and not be broken it seemed to bother him if I touched one spot but again didn't see any blood or wound. We have a few raccoons I'm trying g to get rid of I think one may have grabbed him through the fence there's feathers there but some are moltingbut I don't think it's from them. Could it just be a strain? I left them in the run so he can sit and rest but kinda worried about him he is acting fine besides the limp.
 
How old is he? Things like Mareks always comes to mind when there's problems with the legs. If it worsens or involves other limbs than that's what I would think.

Could be he fell or got it hung up in a weird way. It should eventually get better. I would just leave him alone unless he's being bothered. It could take a while to heal, but as long as it doesn't get worse he should be okay.
