I need advice on how to help hurt roo
Our take
Oh no, it sounds like your feathered friend is in a bit of a pickle! šš Roosters can be tough cookies, but when theyāre limping and crying out, itās time to step in with some cluck-tastic care! Your impulse to create a cozy recovery zone is spot onāstraw, food, and water are essentials. Now, letās explore some ideas to help him heal faster and keep that foot from slipping! And donāt worry, weāll tackle this head-bobbing mystery together! š£āØ
| | My little rooster came scrambling over to me last night when I went to check on everyone before bed and he had a limp. I picked him up and he was obviously in pain, I set him up in our shop with straw and a bin with food and water but this morning when I checked on him his legs (mostly his bad one) were kinda splaid. Now he's got his feet kinda under but he seems in pain. Is there anything I can do to help him heal faster? Like a diy crutch or something to keep his foot from slipping from under him. He also seems to bob his head around strangely. This morning he jumped out of the bin and started crying in pain. I'm not sure if that's a good thing since he was able to jump out or a bad thing since he seemed in pain [link] [comments] |

- Whatās wrong with my roosters leg š¢For context, he started limping about a year ago and slowly, I noticed his leg got swollen. He would limp a bit, but it was manageable. Eventually, it started swelling up, even thicker to the point you see now and he is at the point he doesnāt even use it at all. I thought maybe it was broken and had kept him isolated in a place in the coop where he could not jump up on anything for a month or so, but that doesnāt seem to help. Iāve tried reaching out to many different organizations near me and nobody can help me. submitted by /u/CYouChai [link] [comments]
- Is my roosters toe broken?This morning we noticed that he was barely moving, and when I went out to check on him I found him face first just laying in mud not moving. Brought him in and noticed he isnāt using his foot to support his weight, he just kept falling over and wasnāt even trying to stand. He has some swelling on his toe that i havenāt noticed before, and the thing just looks a bit messed up. A couple months ago he lost his talon, itās fully healed now and starting to grow back. Could it be growing pains? Or could there be some infection internally in his foot from the injury that is making it hard for him to stand? The break was pretty gnarly, it was bleeding a ton and we had medical tape on it for a couple weeks with corn starch in it to force it to clot and heal. I washed the stinky guy up and heās in a cage in my room now. If it is broken I want to keep him away from the other chickens and the outside environment so he can rest and heal, I donāt want him moving until he can walk properly again. At the moment he is able to stand normally but he is still off balance and not completely using his leg. He can still bend the toes on the messed up foot and he can grip my hand pretty well, so I donāt think heās losing mobility in his foot or anything. And yes his feet are always that red, always have been and especially in chilly weather. It just rained so the ground is cold My parents are pretty positive he broke it but I wanted more opinions and hopefully some advice to help him heal. Right now Iām just going to make sure he isnāt moving around too much, we have a safe place for him to sleep tonight in the coop so he doesnāt get too stressed by being away from his hens. Iām going to keep supervising him every day and if he doesnāt get better my parents will take him to the vet so we can find out whats up I know it probably looks like heās standing up fine in the image but he keeps losing his balance every now and then, and a couple hours ago he couldnāt even hold himself up without my help. Any help is greatly appreciated š«¶ I want to make sure my boy is gonna be okay. Iāll answer any questions you ask submitted by /u/kaytteaa [link] [comments]
- What happened to my chicken's toe, why is it curved, and what can I do?I woke up last night and I saw my chicken running around, I grabbed him and put his toe back into place.

- Help!Yesterday I stepped into my coop to see that a rooster I raised attacked one of my older hens. Iāve separated them both from the coop, and cleaned my hen as best I could but I feel like I could do some more to help her. Bother of her eyes are swollen, one almost completely shut, most of the feathers on her head have been plucked off from the rooster. Iāve used Vetericyn,and Blue Kote on her head and am continually cleaning the area. Sheās taking water but hasnāt eaten much. Yesterday she laid on her side for a while, today sheās sitting up but still isnāt standing or walking iām hoping sheāll be okay and isnāt suffering any serious injuries. If any of you guys have any tips i could use that would be great! iām a high schooler and canāt afford a vet let alone find a farm vet close enough for that matter. submitted by /u/AnitLiving_ [link] [comments]
