Rooster Limping

[SixNolans]

Hi! I’m new and am excited to get feedback! I have a Phoenix Rooster who is manly to my 10 hens. I noticed about 2 weeks ago he started limping. So I took him I. The house (with a towel as he is not easy to work with). Checked bumblefoot and feet look good. Felt his tendons and muscles on both legs and nothing out of the ordinary. He seemed to improve some several days ago and now he’s back to limping pretty bad. Not sure if he’s having “too much fun wth the ladies” or what. Just not sure what to do. He’s very protective of his girls. Eating and drinking fine. Not laying around just stands on one leg because of the “pain”. But I don’t want him to further injure himself. Advice please.

Possibly a sprain..That can take 6 weeks to heal. If a slight fracture a bit longer..Confining him to a look no touch pen with a low Roost will speed up recovery.

Thanks I’ll try that!
