    Hey all! Yesterday when I went out to let the chickens and ducks out, I noticed that one of my Pekin girls laid her first egg! She and her sisters are my oldest at roughly 4.5 months old. There were no eggs today, which I figure is probably typical of a new layer. My question is how long will...

    My duck leg is badly swollen

    My issue is, thankfully I can afford a vet visit... but no vet in my area will see ducks. My girls feet are good, I've checked from every angle. I'm going to TSC here in a bit. A lady that works there has ducks and is quite knowledgeable. I'm hoping she is there so I can pick her brain!

    My duck leg is badly swollen

    I am having the same problem in one of my ducks! Both of her hocks are swollen like this, no vets around see ducks. I'm wondering if draining all the fluid around her joints will help my girl out but I'm terrified ill just make things worse for her!

    Pekin Duck Swollen Hocks

    **UPDATE** Laverne was standing this morning nearly straight up. Still limping really bad and doesn't take but a few steps before laying back down. I got her out of the pen this morning to feed her the mash I make twice a day for her. After she was done eating I laid her back a bit so I...

    Pekin Duck Swollen Hocks

    This is the best video I could get if her walking. I have hard wood floors so she can't get a good grip and its raining outside so that isn't an option. Typically she walks hunched over and limps.
