Wyandotte chick with snapped wing

[Elraishem]

I have a 7/8wo Wyandotte chick with an open wound and bone sticking out. The wing is blue past the break. Is there any way to save them?

Is that where the joint is? If so that type injury will have torn tendons, & ligaments, & will require extensive surgery which birds don't handle very well.

Amputation may be the best option here.

It’s hard to tell but I think there was a snap along the length of the bone

She may require a trip to the vet's.

I don’t know if I can afford a vet amputation, is there anything I can do myself? I’d rather surrender than lose her but I don’t really want either

I believe her humerus snapped

The amputation can be done at home. I believe there's a couple people who have done this, but I don't remember who.

Thank you, I’ll look it up and try my best

I'm sorry I cannot offer more than moral support, but please keep us posted. We have definitely seen some at-home amputations here on the forums.
