Rooster With a Broken Wing (Possibly Broken In Half)

[Seth Horban]

My ayam cemani rooster escaped his coop today and beat up the beautiful rooster in my profile picture, Big Red. I relocated him and gave him some supplements and assessed the damaged. I checked out his droopy wing. I was hoping it was just sprained but felt a bump on the underside of the wing. I think it is the bone almost sticking out of his wing. Does anyone know if I can treat it myself? Is a splint or wrap enough? Also is it at all deadly?

He seems to be fine in terms of energy, but this seems bad. I’ll send pictures when I check on him next.

The first is the underside of the wing.

I believe he will be ok but it definitely is a stuck out bone. Still if anyone knows some miracle cure for mending a broken wing bone just tell me. He will most likely survive with a messed up wing for life but as long as he is away from other roosters he should live life normally.

As long as the bone is not piercing the skin, he should heal. Perhaps with a wonky wing, but his quality of life should be fine.
