I have a lake behind my house that is filled with ducks, I believe one of the females has a broken leg she is limping and will not put any pressure on it.What will be the best way to splint her leg ?

She may not have a break - but some have used something light like popsicle sticks and vet wrap (as you know, taking care not to restrict circulation in the leg).

Getting her into a lukewarm tub of water, floating, so you can see the leg may help - it may be bumblefoot (a staph infection), or a sprain, or a stuck egg. So getting in close to see what's going on helps.

Now, the break may be so obvious this is not necessary - but those are just some ideas.
