    Our Poor Norbit. Bad leg

    also do you think it would be a bad idea to have another duck in there with him. We have four more Pekins i thought i could put our other Pekin Gretta in there with him but I'm scared she might step on him.

    Our Poor Norbit. Bad leg

    we have him by himself just so he doesn't try to walk on it too much. I will for sure try the bath its hard seeing him like this. When you try and do a epsom compress could you be a little more detailed please on how to do it. He also isn't eating very much. Is it possible he is in pain? This is...

    Our Poor Norbit. Bad leg

    Ok we have a 11 week old duck and noticed he was really unstable when trying to walk around. Unfortunelty we found a wound under his right wing, and he wouldn't walk on his left foo/leg. We have his wound cleaned and doing well. But he cannot walk or won't walk on his foot. So if he stands up...

    I do too, we gave them a chance but we thought maybe under their circumstances of their living area maybe is slight aggression was from neglect given and not feeling safe. But sadly his aggression grew to the point we were unable to even let him out because he would attempt to go after us and...

    ok well i will see, we do believe that the rooster she came with is a major factor into this. She was so stressed and tormented almost by him. Sadly the rooster is way too aggressive and is attacking her plus even sent one of the family members to the hospital to get stitches since he bit so...

    I looked at their legs doesn't seem like crazy scaly?.. Ive read up on the leg mites and i was wondering if it wouldn't hurt to do it anyway as a precaution. I had cleaned up her feet soaked her a little in some warm water and found out she is missing the ends of her toes so no nail at all on...

    when do you think she would probably start laying? I mean I've heard some people say when her back end is fluffed? or when they squat? I'm not really sure what to look for to see if she would be laying. They said she was just over a year. Is it possible for her to be too stressed to even lay.

    Ok The hen is extremely sweet! The rooster is not too bad in temperament. But atleast I know that maybe she is just overbred by him. I will keep them separated for the time being. We do currently have about 26 pullets and one cockerel I'm pretty sure there should be plenty for him when they are...
