    Teenage duck trampled by Emu

    Dickens, my duck, is still alive. Her puncture site is looking ok. But her leg is just dangling. I can't feel any real "break" but it just seems totally useless. And she seems crooked too. Like the bad leg is somehow shorter, or pulled into her more. Maybe this is a muscle issue??? Tried...

    Teenage duck trampled by Emu

    My little duck was just trampled by my Emu. Her wing and corresponding leg are just dangling. She has a puncture wound under the wing. What can I do to help my poor baby??? I have rinsed with warm water and applied a bandage, but I am helpless on what to do about her dangling foot. I...

    My chicken has weakness in her legs and won't stand.

    She is better today. Standing fine. So it cant be Marecks, right? She would still be paralyzed, I think. Thanks for the thread and info. I had no idea chickens can get tape worms. Creepy!!

    Is this normal behavior for Emu chicks? Or is there a problem?

    Thanks for the video. It led me to other great dancing emu videos. But these are all much older thatn mine. She is only 2 weeks old. However a lot of the movement I am seing on some of these videos looks a lot like what my chick is doing. Hopping, rolling over, spastic jerks. But mine...

    Is this normal behavior for Emu chicks? Or is there a problem?

    My 2 week old baby emy has started to jump spazzily and roll over. Is there something wrong with her? Does she need supplements?? Feeding her Ratite grower and kale. I'm really worried about her. I can upload a video if that would be helpful. Thanks, Lisa
