    HELP! Duck foot problem

    We are in Missouri. We are in the process of making them a predator safe yard and then they will be free. We take them outdoors when we can and have a hard time getting them back inside. Although on Sunday it was near 90 degrees and they walked to the basement door to return to the cooler temps.

    HELP! Duck foot problem

    Everything I read said to isolated the injured duck so it could rest a recoup. It was still with the other duck, but placed in a box so it couldn't get to the swimming pool and couldn't walk around very much. She has since then freed herself of the box.

    HELP! Duck foot problem

    I haven't done anything to it yet. I thought frost bite too, but the duck has been in our basement. I wouldn't think the pool water would get that cold in our basement.

    HELP! Duck foot problem

    First, I do not know if I am doing this correctly because I have just recently joined. I purchased a Pekin duckling at a local farm store a month ago. The duck is living in my basement in a blocked off area with a mallard duck friend, food, water and a small pool. The duck was doing great until...

    Pigeon toed duckling

    I am not sure about the flush effect or flush free. I was not able to find B complex, but do have a TSC near my work. I will stop there today. Do you know if there is a way to wrap the poor little guys legs to help? I am a little bit in panic mode because I worry that I am too late to help him...
