Rooster with broken lower jaw/beak.

Agreed, they said they have tried to repair them before with no luck, so they recommended amputation instead. The amputation itself would be $300, the additional $200 is for hospitalization and meds. Either way, that's way too much to leave him without a beak. Thanks for the threads. I will read them over, and hopefully come up with a plan. I will update with the outcome. Thanks again!
 
If you decide to try to glue it into place I would consider some type of hard "support" such as a small piece of metal or plastic glued on the outside. It likely won't last for long but it may be like a torn fingernail that bleeds, if it can be repaired short term the flesh heals underneath so it doesn't hurt when the nail comes off.

Thank you. My husband suggested cutting a paper clip to the proper size & gluing it to each side to keep it reinforced. Worth a shot I think.
