I feed flock raiser as there are chickens, ducks and geese. They free range and there is also cracked corn and grains available. Vent looks normal. Here body feels normal. Her walk is stumpy. she is isolated in a cage right now. No neck issues or breathing issues that I can see.

Help! New duck mom, I have six 4 month old ducks. Pretty sure 5 are females based on quack and only one has Drake feather. They are not laying yet so I do not think I am looking at egg binding. One of the Female Swedes started to lag behind the group. She can walk and she is drinking water...
