Pam, The leg is turning black because it's not getting any
circulation. Where on earth do you live that they don't
have any Vets? There is little that you yourself could do
for a broken leg. There are too many variables, like is it
a clean break or a compound fracture. A break that makes
the bone protrude through the skin is far more likely to
become infected, but all breaks carry risks of infection.
The bird really needs medical treatment and antibiotics.
Look harder, there must be a vet around somewhere. -Alison-
