    Duck eye issue, what can I do?

    She has had weekly bath tub swims, they are just being put outside in a bigger pen so will have a small swimming pool for swimming in. She has been in the house because we felt she and another duckling were in need of more attention than the others in the same pen.

    Saxony drake and ducks. Can drake be shown?

    Here is the eye pic. But now we have a hen that has an old toe injury she has her nail yet but where it connects to her toe is swollen a bit. So I'm thinking he will get docked points because of it?
