Angel Wing Opinions Needed

Long story short, I have a 6 week old wild Canada gosling with angel wing that no one in my local network can take in. Legal or not, this is on me now.

I am experienced in geese, but I have 2 options on this and would like any other experienced person’s opinion.

1 - I remove the gosling from its family and bring it in. This allows me a controlled environment where I can wrap by day and expose by night, but it removes the goose from its family at a critical time.

2 - I wrap the gosling outdoors and let it stay with its family group. This would mean 24hr compression, and I would have to catch it and remove the wrap every few days to give it a day off. This would keep it with its family group in this critical time.

The angel wing is about 7 days old, and it has not self corrected. It is single sided but at an aggressive 90 degrees.

Anyone with an experienced opinion either way on this one?
