This mallard hen showed up this morning with a clearly injured wing; she is in a large enclosure with my flock of 22 other female ducks. She can't fly at all and she can't seem to keep her wing in place, it just drags along the ground, making me think it is dislocated. I have no idea how she got injured, but I'm more than happy to rehab her as we do that with many other injured birds. I'm working to get her to our avian vet on Friday. I've never dealt with an injury like this and am wondering what I can do in the meantime to make her more comfortable. Any ideas?
