Hello
First time raising Ducks. I have two Pekin ducklings from TSC. I got them as tiny little cute fluff balls about 4 weeks ago... They have grown very very fast. They just ran out of their chick food (non medicated) and I got a new bag of Starter/grower food for them... they been on this for 4 days so far
They get free time in the yard to forage for whatever they want and nibble on grass.
They sleep in the house at night but during the day they are in an outside pen .. using shavings as bedding
I notice that one of them seems to have a little trouble walking. His feet are turned in and her walks with this feed overlapping. Sometimes when he stops his toes are on top of eachother. He sits down quite a bit. No sores or anything on his feet.
The other duckling who is a little bigger dosn't have this problem.. His feet are turned outward and he moves with more ease... Bot they both seem a little clumbsy like they are on the verge of loosing their balance at any moment.
I can get a video uploaded if that would be helpful
