2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

Thank you very much! Feel free to use it and modify it for your ducklings purposes.

Thanks! I have one very much like it that generates a chart.

Is the bowl attached?

No, it is just a stainless steel bowl that fits into the rim on top of the scale:

You can use any other bowl because you can always tare the scale back to zero.

Yes, i was looking out for a scale that i could connect to my computer, so the spreadsheet would fill out itself. - Too expensive! Way too expensive! - At least if you order here in the U.S.A. - different story if you order from AliExpress. But who knows how reliable those are…

Very cool, but too rich for my blood too!

Here is a picture of the one duckling with the leg problem:

Her right leg is entirely limp, the foot is folded into itself and she is just hopping around in the brooder. I have started with niacin and vitamin b complex. Anything else i can do?

Oh no. Poor little precious. I hope she gets better.

And they're back in! Things change here faster than the weather on Mount Washington.
Here you go:

Sweet little dumplings.

Update on the hurt one, i have set it into my scale, it clocks in at 40 grams, the other are 44/46 grams, except for another tiny one that weighs just 36 grams. I have taken a video of the duckling in the scale:

What concerns me is that she is not moving any part of the leg at all. The leg just sits there. I don't know if it is paralyzed or the hip-joint is dislocated. I am thinking about stealing one of my wife's hairbands, a straw and try a hobble. (?)
Thing is that little bugger can JUMP! After the video she jumped straight out of the scale and almost dropped to the floor, i could catch her in the last moment!
What do you think: Hobble or a swing?

Bless that little child. What a sweetie. I hope her limb gets better.
