Thank you all so much. It's nice to know I'm doing the right thing for her :-)

She is fine getting out, we have steps inside the pool for her. She had a few issues finding the door to get out of the coop this morning, but I'm sure she will learn where it is. She has already learnt where to find food. Was great to her having a wash just after this was taken :-)

Thanks all. Well good news - we redid the steps and my blind girly can get in, and they all fit in there together(ish)

I do have more edging stones, I will put them down in the morning. At least she can drink and dip her head in it and I'm happy she has found the food.

I bet they are so cute and fluffy. Edited by staff

Mine are cross breeds (one is quite big and has a lot of runner in her) and about 3 months old. So far they spend all other there time in there huddled together.

I am trying to work out if my house is big enough, think they have just over 3.5 square foot per duck in the house and they look swamped by it. Only got them last night so still learning

Run is fixed and they now have access to the pool. The poor blind one hasn't worked how to get in yet, but she has been able to dip her head underwater

Is that 4 square foot per duck in the house or the run?

They will be able to have a swim in a few hours (after we fix the weakness in the pen) I do feel sorry for the blind one with us doing all this diy. Must be scary when all you can hear is banging.

There is a little fluff on the neck of the brown one on the left and her flight feathers are still growing. Is there anything I can do to help her preen?

Here are my little ones. I wouldn't normally put water in the hutch, but we found a weakness in the run and are patching that up now. The blind one is the white one on the left, she also seems a lot more disheveled than the others. Not sure what would cause this tho.

Thank you :-) I have already fallen in love with her. Just don't want to hurt her through my ignorance. One more question. At what age do they lose there fluff?

A local farm. They are cross breeds and about 3 months old. She already hides behind the other 4. I just don't want her to drown cos she can't see the step out of the pool :-(

So I picked up my 5 new ducks last night (yay) but one than has milkey eyes (boo) I have done the flat hand test (as I have seen suggested on here) One eye seems to have some vision and the other eye seems to have almost none (you have to practically poke her in the eye to get a reaction) :-(...
