Hi there! Sorry I never updated this! But I wanted to update! It's been 4 mths since I last posted and Lil Duck is Alive and well! We kept her inside for about a month! Her leg didn't heal properly(probably because I splinted it wrong), but she is back with the other ducks outside and...
The splint has been OFF for almost 2 weeks! It was on for almost 2 weeks! I had no idea how long to leave it on (I asked and very few people responded), and the advice I got was to leave it on for 2 weeks, so that is what I did! She can not walk at all.....The leg that was hurt stays out...

Thanks so much! I have a question! You said water therapy would be helpful! Do I wait until her leg is healed before starting that or do I put her in the water with the splint on? Thanks
2 days ago a neighbors dog grabbed one of our pekin ducks and took off with her in it's mouth! We saw it happen from inside the house and it was awful! We ran outside and the neighbor(was on a four-wheeler) had stopped and got the duck from his dog! She was clearly shook up but appeared to...
We found two Pekin Ducks. My husband and son went and got them today. I am not sure how old they are, but the guy said that they were under two.I wish I knew there ages. One looks younger than the other and not fully grown. He said they were both female but I don't knopw how he would know...
