    Female hurt/limping, improving over couple days. Is my plan sound?

    Hi guys, think my female sprained something while jumping off the deck (it's about a foot high). Either that or the drake was too rough with her and somehow injured her back, hip, or leg.

    Limping duck

    Taking ducks to the vet

    Could someone who has experience with raising ducks message me? I have some ducks and I'm not quite sure what's wrong with them. I'm not sure if it's a deficiency, injured legs, or a neurogical problem. I also have questions about vet costs.

    Injured duck-enrichment?

    I have a khaki campbell who is the sole survivor of a dog raid on our flock. He's fine except for a broken thigh bone. The vet wrapped it, gave us a painkiller, and he's living in our bathroom currently. My question is: should he have any toys or something to distract him? He has a stuffed...
