Duck bottom beak broken and bent 90 degrees, cannot eat

With the expertise already represented here, I hesitate to say anything. But for what it might be worth, I want to throw out there the name of a product that might help. "Gorilla Glue" dries less quickly than super glue, and is water activated. In making a splint, maybe this product could be of benefit. I don't know toxic or not, or whether you could keep the duck still. Seems if a vet could sedate and repair with a splint it might help. No idea, really, so that's all I'll mention. Following, and hoping for the best.

Update:
Kept her wrapped 24 hours with the splint. When I took it off to feed and water her, the splint fell off. The beak wasn't healing together like I had hoped, so I took her to a vet. They said they will have to secure her beak with a feeding tube left in for up to 2 weeks, and I can feed her myself with that. After that they could add some epoxy to fix it. They can't add pins because that would further disrupt the already small amount of blood flow left. If there is not enough blood flow, the beak would fall off and she may or may not be able to adapt and eat properly.

I suppose if it's the worst case scenario, I would have to look into a prosthetic beak as Jessica mentioned in this thread.

I blend up food and put in water so he can eat.

I don't know how but my khaki came out of the coop like this. The bottom beak is bent back and appears to be snapped in the middle, but otherwise completely attached. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm not sure of what to do to help her. At the moment she can drink but cannot eat. The local vet won't be open for some time, so I'm posting here for now. Would I be able to splint this to keep the bill in place somehow?
