In need of a used duck wheelchair.
It's been a while since I have posted to this site. Always helpful in the past, I hope it's as helpful now. George, our 12 yr old khaki Campbell, had surgery for a really bad bumble 3yrs ago. She never really recovered, and now is not able to keep up with her sisters, nearly unable to walk... -

My drake is not looking very well.
Now my concern, of course is that George has been on these layer pellets for since September. Have I caused him irreperable damage? Is there anything else that should be done to help him recover from my ignorance? I had read that it was okay for the drakes to have layer pellets... -

Happy Thanksgiving to all the great BYC family! I'm a newbie to having ducks, just having raised them since this past April. So I'm hoping some one might be able to help me in figuring whats up with George. I've got one Khaki Campbell drake and six hens. The hens look hale and hearty, busy...
