Rooster with a super bad leg

Well, crop is still full and his leg almost acts dislocated. I’m not sure what to do at this point and think we may have to put him down. His comb is drooping and he’s hurting.
:hugs I'm sorry he's not doing well.
If the crop is not emptying then I would start treating that. Feel of it and let us know if it's hard, soft, squishy, fluid/air filled, sour, etc. This article will help you with that too.

It’s soft and squishy but we’re putting him down today. Even if we get that fixed, his leg has not improved at all. He’s doing worse every day and I won’t watch him suffer any longer. He’s such a good boy.
