I need to euthanize, help please

The pictures of her leg would be good.

Is it an open, or closed fracture? Where exactly is it on the leg?

A picture right now wouldn't do any good, the leg seems to have healed completely. So that's good. I didn't want to try getting a picture while it was injured because my ducks think I'm the devil and run from me more than anyone else. If I don't keep 15 feet away from their fence they lose their minds. It's a shame they are cool little ducks but I have to walk on eggshells with them to the point where they are quite difficult to care for.

Anyway, the ducks right femur was sticking out completely horizonal from its body, like almost parallel with the ground. It looked like it was either a hip break, the femur snapped or the femur was massively dislocated. It could not walk at all and then it was magically better a couple days later. I did see it panic one time and try to run and wind up faceplanting tripping over a log. I wonder if it was dislocated and falling again is what fixed it. Either way it's fortunate because there's no way I can catch any of my ducks without hurting them.
