    Is it possible to get a video of what their doing you’ll have to put it on Vimeo or you tube then copy and paste it here. Did you look at ears with Jemimas and feel along Puddles neck for obstruction?

    Love that avatar :love Awesome news about the eye. Sometimes when mating the drakes can grab and cause injury too. They can get over these things pretty good on their own. Glad that happened here.

    I don’t think they have TSC in the UK I think that is where OP is.

    Put some ACV into her drinking bucket it can help some with bacteria until you decide if she needs to go to the vet. I use 1 Tablespoon to a gallon of water they wash their faces a lot. At this strength it doesn't burn. I cannot get over the difference in those two pics Puddles looks awesome.

    How’s the skin look there? I think once he molt’s these feathers out he’ll be one handsome boy. I look forward to seeing Puddles then. AND so happy to hear he has gotten over the stumbling and tiptoeing!!! :woot Of all you have done can you put your finger on what helped him through this (...

    He is in need of a good molt. At least hopefully the pinioning was done when they were tiny and it’s completely forgotten similar to having dew claws removed from tiny puppies? Maybe I’f you had a way of keeping them in a warm place he’d begin to molt on his own? Of course others who have calls...

    Are you using a small bucket for them to drink out of? if you have one and can place something over top of half of it you maybe able to keep them out of it. I have to do that with my 2 and 5 gal buckets or they want to climb into them. I use a scrap piece of board and either place a heavy rock...

    Does the vitamins your giving them have any niacin in it and if so how much? Or can you snap a pic of the vitamins that are in it.

    Well that's good to hear he does have some control of his movements. Yes wondering also if this is constant when he is up moving around. Maybe @Pyxis is on this morning too?

    Goodness that is hard to watch poor fellow. I do agree this isn't from wet feather. Does he lay down and rest and when laying is it normal duck position with legs tucked up under him? Lets see if @casportpony will have a look

    Sounds like they are coming right along. As for the feathers it will take quite a while before you see improvement but your working on it so hopefully those vitamins and feed will do the job. Are they getting along better now that they are outside?

    Maybe because she is picking up on him since he’s not quite himself? Seems when one of the flock isn’t feeling their best the others will pick on them even try to run them off since in the wild they the sick or weak would draw predators in. @Pyxis

    I had 3 Solid white Muscovy females that when they got to be around 7yr got wet feather every year same time late summer before molt. Boy they would look pitiful then they would molt and their feathers would be beautiful again. Being they did this when temps were still warm to hot they did...

    I am sure one being chilled, so warm baths would be best and letting them dry off out of wind and cold weather. Poor things hopefully these little ones will be on the road to recovery now.

    For what these poor little ones have been through I’d say nutrient deficiency is most likely their biggest issue. Vitamins and good feed should clear that up it’s just going to take some time they have a lot of catching up to do. Sunshine if warm should help make them happy. And diving for...
