What’s wrong with my roosters leg 😢
Our take
Have you noticed your rooster limping and his leg swelling over time? It can be distressing to watch our feathered friends struggle, especially when we’re unsure of the cause. In this case, it sounds like your rooster has been limping for about a year, and despite your best efforts to isolate him and prevent further injury, his condition has worsened to the point where he’s not using the leg at all. You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed; many chicken keepers have faced similar challenges with their beloved birds.
 | 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 doesn’t 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 doesn’t seem to help. I’ve tried reaching out to many different organizations near me and nobody can help me. [link] [comments] |
