I have a 1 day old duckling with what seems to be a hernia and a splayed foot. Her hatch wasn’t the greatest, I actually thought she was going to die before this morning. When I opened the incubator I was pleasantly surprised to see her bouncing around. I then noticed that the egg was still on her tail end so I picked her up to make sure the yolk was absorbed (it was) but I noticed what seems to be a hernia. Will that mend itself? What do I need to do for her? After further examination I noticed that she was walking on the top side of her foot. If I can get the hernia fixed what do I do about the foot? Please help me. 😬
 
For the slayed foot i would take a small rubber band and cut a straw into a little piece, slide the rubber band through, make sure it fits the ducks width and put its feet through. Also look up more methods online. Hope your duckling gets better. :)
