Duck slaves, LOL! Glad I am not alone here!
Well....Daffodil, the rescued duck (with a shattered hip) does not have another duck to cuddle with. You know, the vet painted a grim picture for her...she said the only reason she wasn't putting her down was because of her will to live, that she...
Right now we have a mirror in there for her, and sure enough, she does stick pretty close to that mirror. I tried putting toys in with her, but she wanted nothing to do with them. The avian vet wasn't sure that she would do as well as she has, and she said that if she got better she could...
As soon as I get my graphics software reloaded (thanks to Mcafee my computer crashed), I will post a photo of Daffodil's new quarters, which was designed based on all of the wonderful advice I received here. Cannot thank everyone enough.

Nicely said about respect.
I'm fairly new here, as you can see. I rescued a duck from the farm pond across the road. She and two of her two cohorts were dumped there by someone, although we know for certain where one of them came from (an Indian Runner (?) bought for a child for Easter), no...
KL, I am sorry about your little duck! I bumped up the "Duck Rescue" thread for you with my experience in the last couple of weeks with a lame duck. Is your duck sort of pushing herself around? She may be in the same boat as Daffodil. Daffodil has an arthritic hip. Can she swim OK?
