Duckling Grow-A-Long!

I'm quite certain the one has splayed legs, I think it got worse since bringing them home. She keeps slipping and can't stand up properly. The other one is completely fine.
Here's a picture, and a video.

Put something down under them that gives them traction then see how the legs are.

I haven't gotten to putting pine shavings in there yet, so I'll do that tonight! I'm sure that'd work right?

The band aid is helping her tremendously! She's walking like normal with it.

@Duckduckgoosie, here's the milk jug!

Lol! I hope you can get them something bigger soon!

Yes, I'll have to get a picture! But all I really did was cut a hole on the side where they can reach.

Yeah, it hardly smells! I tried some pine shavings the other day and it started to smell.

I’ve only treated splayed leg in chicks, not ducklings yet, but so glad you jumped on treating right away.

I'm so glad the band aid worked.

Me too! I was always skeptical about putting things on the legs to help with splay leg, thinking how could they even walk and such, but its much better than I thought and works very well!

An old clean towel or the shelving that was shown is best.
