It would help me to understand the problem if you could
email me a close up photo of the hock joint or even a
short video clip. Some people do amazing things with
their "smart phones". From your description I suspect
that the Achilles tendon may be displaced. This tendon
connects muscles along the tibia to the bone of lower
leg-- passing down the rear of the hock joint. When the
Achilles tendon is out of place it often causes the toes
to curl and the lower leg loses power to move.
Rest in a body sling or a "chick chair" may permit
healing. After all, humans with sports injuries are
told to rest during healing.
If you send me an email put "POULTRY" in the subject
line to avoid being mistaken for spam.
