I'll do some research on it. She's not drinking right now but I'll see about it when she starts. Poor thing's scared right now... not a house duck in the slightest, lol.

I mean keep her in a crate or separate from the others and dissolve two Tums in a dog dish of water that she gets to drink...Feed her her regularly fed feed and then regular water...

Calcium....Two Tums in water try it...

I would put her back out so she is with the Flock and walking around...Catch her and give her a bowl with the calcium...Two Tums crushed up..

Only you know how stressed out she is?...

Did you see how slow she was moving in the video? If she goes any faster she falls over and starts her circling thing. I don't think putting her out entirely is wise, but I might move her crate out there. She needs the walls so she can stay upright.

Why are you feeding Ducks layer feed? Someone here on BYC said it okay?

She won't suffer if able to be close to the flock..Stress kills Birds more than injuries...

No, because I can't afford paying $20 a bag for all flock. I feed layer, my neighbours feed layer, my friends feed layer, all the ducks have lived perfectly good and lengthy lives, and I see no reason to change unless there's a really, really good reason.
I'm still not convinced that what Flippy has is connected to feed at all, but if it turns out that it is and she responds to calcium, then I will re-think what I am doing.

Don't get upset at all...Seriously, Ducks require different feed than Chickens..I'm trying to help...
