I've kept chickens before, but a friend gave me a mallard duck he found that has a broken foot - it appears broken on the middle toe. He refuses to put weight on it, and also does not seem to be flying. All the rehabbers I've talked to aren't taking birds right now due to flu...

Suggestions?

Edit: went ahead and splinted it for now with tiny pieces of wood wrapped in waterproof tape and gave him a "shoe" made of styrofoam.
