    Duck’s legs went stiff

    I don’t know who will see this but as of yesterday, my duck is almost brand new. I’d say she’s about 85%. Looking through information and other’s posts on BYC and observing her, I believe she may have had a stroke. She was one of my loudest and now she’s the quietest and she follows instead of...

    Duck’s legs went stiff

    No doubt. I’ve lost birds after only a year and I’ve had others for 14. My vet said if there was such a thing as reincarnation she’d come back as a chicken at my house. When I started keeping poultry there was only BYC at my local county fair and now I can ask questions on the internet. I am...

I put her right in the pond this morning and she’s content there. If it was a seizure, what do I do?! I’ve...

    Duck’s legs went stiff

    My Runner just went stiff. Her heart is racing but I don’t know if it’s cuz she can’t move? Panicked?I put her in her in the pond and she went to the corner and seems to want to nap. I looked up lame duck and found everything from botulism to she’ll be fine. Do I just separate her, give her some...
