I have found her in a bush next to our pond that's a few acres back. Looks like she's a Rouen duck. When I found her... her three other siblings were dead and she was still in the nest crying. The mother was nowhere to be found.
I have. I have gently cleaned around her wound and luckily I had some vitamin crumbs left over from my other ducklings when I was raising them and she ate it. Yes, I do plan on keeping her if possible.
Please help! I have found an injured wild baby duckling and it looks like she has a broken leg and also some skin out of her side. It's leg is not "bent" but it is hanging and not putting any pressure on it whatsoever (she tries so hard to stand up):hit... she looks to be about maybe 1-2 weeks...
She's doing MUCH better. The escape route is fixed and she is FULLY back to her perky self. Thanks everyone for your comments and help. I appreciate it. :celebrate
Thank you so much for this. Giving her the bath with the epsom salt right now! Her wounds aren't bad. It is just where the feathers were taken off are a bit red. Once again, thank you!!
I have 2 ducks...both are females. One pekin and one Rouen. They were both in my backyard roaming around this evening out of there closed in yard. Somehow my Rouen duck found a way to escape while I was in my house and she got on the other side of the fence which has a big pond that I rarely let...
