Hi Kelsey
You might try a wildlife rehabilitation center, waterfowl sanctuary, Columbus Zoo or even a veterinary school at a local university. See if there is a wildlife rehabber in your area that might help by rescuing and possibly treating the bird. If the break is too extensive, the goose may have to be euthanized, so you may have to weigh if it is better now or being rescued and possibly euthanized. Obviously , if it is in pain and distress, euthanasia may be the most humane option. The only other option would be to place the bird in a safe secure waterfowl or wildlife sanctuary so the bird does not have to fly to escape predators or seek shelter, food and nesting resources.
