New to chickens

[Nemesis Prime]

Recently got back into chickens and I guess I'm just finding my sea legs all over again. I had them for about six years previously but got rid of them to move. This is my first time having a disabled rooster and I just need help making him more comfortable.

Welcome to BYC. What happened to your rooster?

Thank you. I heard that he was injured as a juvenile and his leg got infected from a deep cut. His entire lower foot fell off and he uses his stump and healthy leg to get around. He's a great rooster and I don't want him to have any more health problems so I came here for advice.

Welcome. I have two disabled chickens, and am willing to help. How is he disabled? @janiedoe has disabled chickens also.
