🚨 URGENT 🚨 DUCK WONT WALK

[urlocalcrazychickenlady]

My crested Duck has been laying in the yard for a bit. She can't put much weight on her right foot. She limps with her wings all the way out. I don't see anything wrong with her foot as far as a cut/blood. She would sort of clench it when I picked her up (not sure if that’s normal)

A few minutes later I saw my rooster (chicken, not a drake) run from across the yard, jump on her back, and attempt to bite her. I ran him off and isolated my duck. Not sure if he was trying to mate her or attack. Please help!

NOTE: I do have a video of her but I am not sure how to attach it as it would only let me do photos.

What's her diet?
Was he trying to mate her?

I’m not sure if he was trying to mate her or not. I’ve never seen him do that before. He has chased her before when she nipped feathers from one of his ladies but never attacked her

She eats all flock and free ranges

Does she get supplemental niacin ?

 

[urlocalcrazychickenlady]

The all flock I believe is 18 percent protein and corn and soy free.

No. I don’t do any supplements. I do give them treats daily such as vegetable scraps and oats and Chex cereal.

Is she a Pekin? She needs supplemental niacin, any duck does but especially pekins.

Stop the oats and cereal, it's not good for them, especially every day.
