so, i was moving the turkeys from their tractor into their new pen and i broke one of their wings.
i grabbed her and she threw her wing out and it just snapped! it was pretty loud and made me nauseous. i knew instantly what it was.
naturally, it was the hen from the pair of Bourbon Reds i was planning to keep and breed. the break is in the humerus (bone 21 in the schematic below) pretty close to the body. it's a transverse fracture quite close to the body. i tried to splint it, but the bones just won't align OR stay in place, no matter what i try to use to splint it.
ideas?
