rooster with bad leg

[avacodowiththechickens]

so I just got an account on backyard chickens manly because my one roster who is a barred rock bantam got attack it a rooster fight with one of my other rooster who is a new hamps and I don't know what to do he won't even put pressure on his bad leg please help.

Do you have pictures? Is it obviously broken/cut? You can put him in a sling in a box of some kind to help keep pressure off for the moment.

I will get pictures as soon as I can it is not broken or cut I forgot to mention it has been 2 weeks I got a vet to look at it and nothing she could tell was broken got x-rays nothing I don't know what to I tried the box for week 1 I thought he did better let him out the roosters aren't angry with him he just kinda lay down in a corner where I put my bantams food as it is a small area because some of my larger chickens are a bit mean and find it funny to steal the food of the bantams then not let the bantams eat from the main food thing.

If she took x-rays then it's not likely broken or dislocated but it could be sprained potentially... he could have also had a nasty shock losing the fight and lost confidence.
How many roosters and how many hens do you have?

I agree that he's most likely got a bad strain. If possible, I would consider isolating him (maybe with one or two hens) so that he can heal. As long as he's "on duty" with the flock he won't be able to relax and rest.

@avacodowiththechickens That sucks. I once had a rooster down for a month after a fight. He limped short distances and laid down a lot in that time. He ended up recovering and exacting revenge once he mended. I had hoped yours would have recovered as well. My condolences to you.
