    Suspected vitamin deficiency in Muscovy - too far gone to help?

    I’ll preface this by saying I know next to nothing about ducks. I know chooks, and I know they can’t eat the same food as them. Also I’m referring to this duck as a girl, but please correct me if I’m wrong. My friend asked me to take this duck for dog food because she can’t walk. Apparently...

    Adult duck trembling legs, won’t sit

    I have an adult duck (3-4 years old) whose legs are trembling a bit when she walks. I just noticed yesterday and made a note to keep an eye on her, and realized today that I haven’t seen her sit or lie down since then. She’s either walking around or just stands still to rest. Otherwise she seems...

    Duckling with lame foot

    One of my almost 4 week old ducklings has become lame in one foot/leg. He is pretty much using his whole leg to hobble around. The other leg seems to be strong. This just started and has been on and off the past few days and is now consistent. None of the other ducks are having any leg issues...
