Broken wing

[Guinealand]

One of my guineas has a broken wing. To me it looks like it might be impossible to fix since there is protruding bone. Has anyone else been able to fix a break like this or should it be put down?

I have no experience with Guineas or with like injuries outside of suggesting basic first aid, clean the wound and offer the bird Save A Chick to combat shock, keeping bird warm/etc. Surprisingly culling, while a possibility isn't always necessary, It depends on what your comfort level is with doing some pretty extreme treatments.

But I am going to tag some folks for you that may be of help. @Wyorp Rock @casportpony @Eggcessive @azygous can one of you folks help this nice person with the injured guinea?

It's hard for me to tell, what bone is broken?

To me it looks fairly close to the body. Only one bone is sticking out. I am thinking it's probably the humerus.

How would you feel about cutting the wing off? That's what I did for a peachick last October. I have pictures if you wanna see them.

How difficult is it to do? Yes I would like to see photos.

I cleaned the wing area, then I cut at the red line with very sharp scissors. Can you get pictures of it cleaned up?
