    Hi! I’ve read through many forum posts over the years but this is my first time posting. I have a ~2 year old hen and a week ago I noticed she couldn’t use her legs well (she was getting in and out of the coop for a day and a half before I caught her sitting outside weirdly). I brought her...

    Help, young duck unable to walk, seems to have something very wrong with him.

    Unfortunately this is the only image I have as these are not my ducks, someone I know just knows I have ducks and wanted my input, but I haven’t seen a duck sit like this before. He’s only able to walk a couple steps before collapsing and can’t seem to stand at all from the video she sent me...
