Hi

My rhode island red rooster about 5 months old has one leg lame, it is usually lying down and walks crisscrossing. Should i cull the rooster? I have tried giving multivitamins and provide calcium supplements, but no improvement. It seems to get worse as the rooster gains more weight growing up.

It might be a good idea if you think the bird is feeling pain. I've had a few whose legs didn't heal, and they needed to be put out of their misery in the end.

Chronic lameness that is getting worse. No wounds, no swelling. Second opinion needed!
