HELP URGENT WING RIPPED OFF

I have read that all parts of the plant contain the toxin solanine with the heaviest concentration being in the leaves and stems. Is this accurate?

You are correct. Tomatoes are fine but not raw potatoes they have lots of solanine. But raw tomatoes not so much.

I would keep her isolated from the rest of the flock for now, as (I’m guessing maybe like in humans) shock could be delayed. Plus it will prevent any others pecking or attacking her.

Yeah, I have I'm in a box with a heat pad for warmth, I've given him some egg cos apparently they like that? And he has food and water

Also - do you know it was definitely a fox? And if so, is their pen secure? Foxes are known for returning once they know where chickens are...

It was definately a fox, we don't get other predators in my area - all the chickens in the pen were moved inside, all my other pens are definitely secure

HELP -
About the 4 month old chicks wing has been ripped off by a fox, not too much bleeding considering the damage - although I don't know how long ago it was. The joint is sticking out the wound and I've sprayed it with antibacterial chicken stuff, I'm thinking about sewing the wound together so the skin heals over the joint, is that a bad idea?
Chick is walking/jumping/eating etc. Doesn't appear to be in shock

I agree with amputation of the rest of the bones.

He is the sweetest! I am very happy you got him to a vet. Is he back with the flock?

Glad he's recovering. Tomatoes, or any other human food from the nightshade family not particularly good for chickens though. Might want to ask the vet about it. My 2 cents.

Tomatoes are fine, it's the leaves and stems that are poisonous

Do you have bandage wrap you could put around it ? It would help with the healing.
