Thank you all for your responses!! The duckling is almost a month old- on the 17th. I was hoping it would correct itself. The duckling does walk- on its knuckles. But not well it hobbles. She or he is so sweet, I cannot bring myself to cull. If anyone has a mobility cart for chickens they are...
i have a Muscovy duckling that has what I think is called club feet. It’s legs are folded in at the joint and it’s webbed feet are closed. It cannot use them at all. It uses the joint above its foot to walk, the joint will not go the way it’s suppossed to allowing a shoe to fix the problem. I...
I don't think I can help, but I wanted to say I'm so sorry... It's crazy how attached we all can become to a chicken!!! I hope he gets better soon. Sending good thoughts and get well prayers your way

ive posted pics of this chicken before I thought the chicken was between the age of 6 months but I'm beginning to think that the farmer who sold it to me has no clue age or gender. I think I'm seeing pointy saddle feathers with its latest molt.
Here she is today... She is very sweet. She lit up when I brought her outside and desperately tried to walk she was panting so I moved her to a shaded spot... I think I will have to cull her soon this life can't be enjoyable for her... And she has to be alone so the others don't peck her... I...
