Is there a way to load a video? It’s kind of wheezing just a tad bit. I have put it in a bath to clean it up from the poo several times and it does seem to ease it up some. Not sure if you can tell from the pics but it’s flopping it’s neck some to “move” away. The poo seems to be getting...
I will post pics when I get home. I’m assuming it was well taken care of, I bought it and two others from a well respected “bird” man in our town. It was walking ok but I did notice it would lay down to eat and drink and didn’t walk around as much as the others would.
We purchased a duck we believe is around 2 months old. I noticed right off that it would lay down when eating or drinking and wouldn’t walk far without laying down. Fast forward to this weekend. We’ve had them a few weeks and they’ve been in the field and pond. We came home and noticed this duck...

Oh.. he also has not mated with our female who is also 13months. We did see her mate with the brown Tom and she has now laid 8 eggs. My white male (Sweetie is his name because he’s just the sweetest thing) has been up with her and her eggs at night to keep him from the brown Tom and has seemed...
