i hauled the Barred Rock roo to the vet this morning. he has a broken hock (stupid goat!).
obviously the sensible thing to do with a broken roo is euthanize, but no... he's home again with a splint on his leg.
he's eating & drinking well & has only a residual bit of wheeze from his cold, which doesn't concern the vet at all.
if anyone has suggestions for getting a one legged chook back to pearching, i'd like to hear :) i suspect he will need to figure out how to balance, which may be easier now that the hock is stabilized.

Don't let him roost! Leave him on the ground for at least a month. It is jumping down that will stress the break and it won't heal.
