This being said, I just want to add caution to anyone who raises baby Call ducks: it is VERY common to have "flippers" the first couple of days of life. Adult Calls of good width sometimes get flipped onto their backs as well and have to struggle to right themselves. So not all "flippers" are sick. Some just need a helpful push if they struggle too long and a lot of times their hatch mates will run them over and right them.You may want to look at this article, "HAVE YOUR DUCKS BEEN DOING THE BACKSTROKE? Toxoplasmosis" by K. J. Theodoreon found here: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/page13.htm
";The first sign of Toxoplasmosis is usually a young duckling flipping over onto its back with the inability to right itself."
Read the article it is very informative.
