i really can not tell what i feel. hes just so tiny. i took him outside for better lighting, i notice his back toe seems to be on the outside of leg now. is that different than earlier? i have no idea, but he didnt hatch that way. and yeah, my neighbor is a big softie like i am. i dont know her...

and here is another photo from the underside. the bad one is at the bottom of the photo looking all fat and distorted.

i made my " diagnosis" based on several things.he used to have splayed legs. when i returned to tape them, one leg was bad. internet brought me to youtube, videos called slipped tendon 1 and slipped tendon 2 look like the chick has its leg bent like my duckling does. so i made the assumption...

yup. i read it. but i have no real life experience so i am clueless. i can read things until i am blue in the face and not understand until i have hands on working knowledge.

he can not straighten his leg at all. its locked bent. so its not slipped tendon?

i am having a hard time figuring out how to manipulate the tendon back in place. is the tendon on the inside of the leg, or the outside of the leg? tried to get pictures of my duckling....

thanks. ill be taking her to neighbor for help and if that doesnt work, it will be a trip to the vet. seems like a quick fix if we dont let it linger?

no help? did i post in the wrong spot? id really like to help this duckling as soon as possible. he cant go his whole life scooting backwards.

i hatched out 8 baby ducks this weekend. Uno was the first to hatch. he stayed in the incubator 12+ hours. it finally got too crowded so i removed the first three to a dog kennel. it was lined with a fluffly towel,folded thick and topped with paper towels. for 12+ hours they slept under their...

Thank you! They are actually near me too.

Has to be great at foraging. Flighty. I like them flying away from danger. Roosters that don't attack people. Winter hardy. Either pea comb, walnut comb or Rose comb preferred. Having a hard time finding a breed like that. Any suggestions?

Ok, all those black wing feathers made us think male, but then the chest confused us. And the little cream one then started pinking up to add to the guessing game fun. I did not realize there was such a thing as white faverolles. Next to the white orpington foster mother (s)he is creamy. They...

Salmon Faverolles almost 6 weeks old. Thought we purchased 2 pullets. One is pure cream, not a stitch of brown. Normal? Her name is Sweetie. Please name the other one, Chick Norris for a rooster, Lovie for a hen.

This is my second year giving chicks to a hen ( 3 hens total) They do best with no red light. Otherwise they see the chicks before they bond to them. But you can try the red light first. If it does not work, turn it off. Last year the hen refused just one chick. No idea why. She hates that...

They hatched April 24th. Pictures were taken May 26th.I did not look at a calendar, but assumed it was about 5 weeks from pick up to photos.They were purchased at a feed store labelled as Araucana. I assumed that meant they were actually Easter Eggers. They seem large to me too, and well...

And his hatch mate to compare

Never had EE's before, but I assume this is a rooster due to the color pattern?
