    Limping duck. Possible bumblefoot?

    If the standard soaks don't help. You can try a product called tricide neo. I used it on my ducks and the stuff works fast. Just mix it in warm water, hold their feet in it for about 5 minutes a day, and make sure they don't drink it.

    Duck Breed Focus - Ancona

    I bought a set of 6 Ancona Eggs off ebay 2 months ago and they all hatched and are growing great. I love them, they are really sweet ducks and they mingle with the other group of ducks well enough that they are starting to merge into one group now. Their colors are amazing!

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Here is P.K(Pekin) and his son K.P (Khaki Pekin) also known as 'Wingtip' because he has some pekin white at the tip of his wings, which he still has after 2 months now. He is almost as big as his dad. Which is crazy considering he was the size of an egg when I hatched him with some ancona...
