Ducks should only be fed layer feed when they are laying eggs. It needs to be on a duck grower. thumbsup.gif

TIME is the best thing to spend on a child!
Always calibrate your hygrometer before you incubate!!

I have just the 16% layer pellets. they are eating the heck out of it. as for the latest on the bird, he seems to be a little better. the sore leg is moving some but is still swollen. the black mark is getting smaller from the neosporen. I tried to get him to settle down so I could look at it closer but he wouldn't have it. even tried to wrap him in a towel and he was just fighting to hard. thats good sign I guess. he is moving around when pushed but just lays in the weeds with his buddies most of the time. wife just got the epsom salt today. so if I can get him to stay in it or wrap it I will try in the morning
