Explain the sea salt sugar and baking soda mixture and what it’s for. I have 5 Muscovy one female is 14 the next oldest is 1 drake and 2 females who will be 11 in June and July and my youngest is 10. My oldest her legs aren’t as strong as they use to be but she still gets around but she isn’t...

How is it going today? did the splint help?

Try it like that and see how it works just skip the knee area so he can bend his knee normal. One year we had a heavy snow storm that took out power all over our county it took a week for them to get it back up. That's when we bought a generator. We sure have put it to good use. I'm sorry yours...

They know we bring out the goodies. Mine are so spoiled but that's okay I enjoy spoiling them. My little Cochin bantams are my snuggle bugs. ❤️ did you get your power back on?

What part of the country are you in?

My Runners and Buffs tolerate me lol My Muscovy do too but more so than the others. I have a few I can pick up and cuddle but they aren't real happy about it. There was a time if I even walked by the Runners they would all get up and move away, Now at least most of the time I can walk past them...

It's their age too, they go through the thinking we are the axe murderer stage.

We live in the middle of the woods too, but thankfully the mountain range usually stops any serious weather from getting to us. Like tornados. I am sure your doing all you can to take care of them.

I’m sorry that’s not good when you have young ones that need warmth, but sounds like you have them covered literally . Do you lose power because of the severe storms that came through?

How’s your littles today?

This is just a suggestion but from all I have heard about Metzer being a great place to get ducklings maybe you could send an email to them along with a video and see what they suggest? Or what they think could be the problem. Your biggest one more than likely has a niacin deficiency and...

The one that was walking slowly is now scooting around on her belly? Your now giving both the liquid b complex? And she is moving her legs good in the water? Hopefully, the liquid B will help her, That's the only thing I can think this could be is niacin deficiency. They looked like they were...

They sure look happy. You can’t get anything in there to stand on but if you let them just swim in the tub then you could give them something to stand on. And with you watching them so close they probably wouldn’t need anything anyway. Awesome look forward to some great updates. You’ll need 5...

As long as the water is warm. You could put a bowl etc upside down for them to stand on if they get tired. Flat bottomed bowl.

Yes they need to be slowly introduced. I take mine out a lot when they are young and sit with them all and watch to make sure no one picks on the young ones. I wonder if the bruising could be from an injury during shipping? Just so hard to know but try the wrapping and she how she does. Is she...

Maybe a little what do you think? since your there the visual is much better. All you can do is try. See how she does with it wrapped. Some support along with water therapy and B complex may be all she needs.

That's a good improvement having the foot lying flat now. I wonder if you used vet wrap and went up the leg with it for support? You'd have to figure out how to wrap so the leg would bend for her to lay down. But having a bit of support might help her walk better and train her to hold the leg...

Can you feel any difference in the 2 legs when running your fingers down the back? some info just in case it's a slipped tendon. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/successful-treatment-of-slipped-tendons-in-bantam-duckling.987977/

As long as they have a good appetite. That was next I was going to ask if she had felt along the back of the leg to see if the tendon was out of place. Thank you @Quatie
