I don't know what happened, I didn't see Chubby fall or anything. I took him out of his cage and noticed he was only standing on one leg and holding the other up. He can grip with it a bit, stretch it out, and and use it if he really needs to but he seems to rather want to hold it up.

There is no bleeding and the shape doesn't look irregular. Do you think he has a broken leg? Or did he maybe just hurt himself a little?

There is no way I can get him to an avian vet until tomorrow. He is eating normally and can still move around...I'm so worried :-(
 
Birds do that often getting into mischief but they heal pretty good as long as nothing really bad happened. They will hold their foot up a bit but eventually be fine. To get your peace of mind, a visit to the vet will be the best. Good Luck!

Thanks Mikey, so if it was broken he wouldn't be able to move or use it at all, right? How long does it usually take for your birds to get better when something like this happens? The vet is about 6-7 hours away so I'd have to wait until tomorrow to go.
