Rooster with broken leg

[Luke82]

Have you been able to catch him yet and check if it's actually broken or injured? Here we use a bath towel, and two people. Catch poles can also be used if you're careful to hook his other leg.

Take things a step at a time, and see where you are. Sending supportive thoughts!

I haven’t inspected it

Yes I do have others, he does walk with curled toes. not sure on the age, he does crow and is bigger than a young rooster. He walks with one foot and uses the toes and hock of the other.

Do you have other chickens? Walking on the hock with curled under toes could be an early sign of Mareks disease, a riboflavin (vitamin B2 deficiency) or a leg injury. How old is he? Are you certain his leg is injured? Does he ever walk on both of his hocks? I would be nervous if Mareks was a possibility. If you keep him, I would give him 1/2 tablet daily of human superB complex vitamins, crushed into a small bit of food or a spoonful of water.

His toes are straighter than I originally thought
