I let my 10 geese out this morning, only to find one with a back covered in blood from a broken, twisted beak (see pictures). It cannot graze or eat any of the whole wheat I put down for them this morning. It is carrying on its business as normal just looks in slight discomfort.
I don't know what to do. I do not want to leave it in this state because if it cannot eat it cannot live. So my options are looking pretty rubbish. He is a young and friendly. The most inquisitive out of this years bunch, a real character. Not sure how he did it either! So the big question is should I put him to sleep or another possibility would be to try and tape his beak together (back to normal) and hope that it will seal and heal itself? Or will this be prolonging pain/ suffering? I don't know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Advice? Has this happened to any of you before?
Thank you in advance! Viccy
