Hi all.
I recently got 3 pekin ducklings. They were all fine when I got them, but one of them now has leg problems.
I am not sure if it's a deformity but I'm guessing he hurt himself after I got him because he didn't have this issue before. Both of his joints are swollen. Compared to the other ducklings his joints are double the size. He is not able to stand for long periods of time. He actually sits now.
I have been keeping him in a small basket in with the other ducks to keep him from running around but also keeping him with his buddies. Is there anything else I can do to help him recooperate?
I will attempt to post pictures.
