I was just out checking my ducks there now and I saw my drake lying down and he wouldnt get up. He's completly g me apart from his right leg. It's either buying him or he can't feel it. I put him the pool and he occasionally paddles with this leg. I didn't do anything harsh just gently bending...

I hatched an indian runner duck and an african gander this year and they have grown to in inseperable througj the months. I believed the gander to be a goose for a long time and so thought that they were just best buddies. However my brother has noticed the gander trying to mate with the duck...
