Hi everyone. I need your help! I have a 5 month old rooster that just started walking on his hock joint. I am pretty sure it is a slipped tendon but I can’t seem to put it back in place. I can’t find much information on adult chickens with this problem, only babies. I just noticed him walking on his shank today, but he has been laying down more the last few days. I thought it was because of the heat.
If anyone has any experience with this and could give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's a photo of his leg. This is how he is standing and walking on it.
Thank you.
