    new to duck raising. please help.

    Welsh Harlequins are a form of Rouens. The big difference is that WH are too tubby to fly even a little bit, while a Rouen COULD fly up to 100ft. Do your fly at all? Maybe this will help? http://www.cacklehatchery.com/rouenpage.html

    Unfortunately Handy (the duck pictured above) is gone. We went to an Avian Vet today and the Vet thinks it must have been caused by a virus. He was paralyzed in one leg, had developed poly arthritis (?) and had a paralyzed tail. I did the only humane thing I could do for him, he was so...

    I'm quite interested in your outcome and anyone else's advice. I have a 2 month old Khaki Campbell and a week or so ago it stopped walking all together. His feet don't open, and it almost looks as though he has no ankles? He too moves around by using his knees, beak and belly. His tail also...

    I am having the same issue with my Khaki Campbell. He is roughly 2 months old, and it almost looks like he doesn't have an ankle. No issues with him up until a week or so ago.
