We have a Cochin Bantam rooster who turned up with a hurt leg a week or so ago. Originally he was limping around, walking on the top of the foot and I did even see him use the hurt leg to scratch in the dirt. He is still eating, drinking, ranging around with his girls - but he seems to have less use of the leg this week.
The video is kind of bad but you get the idea. When I feel all over his foot and leg he doesn't fidgit or fuss & again, he still ranges around and eats and drinks - so I get no signs that he is in pain. But I am at a loss as to what to do for him. I don't feel any breaks on his foot, leg - which leads me to believe he may have dislocated the hip joint? Is there anything I can do for him?
