To get ready for a show I put my young Muscovey drake in an extra large dog crate. He settled right down so I left him alone. I just went back to check in him and he won't put any weight on one leg!!!
I need help finding out if it is broken or sprained.
If it is sprained he will be kept in a small pen until it heals.
...but if it is broken...he will probably be culled... he is my best looking drake but not worth the cost of having a vet fix his leg.
If there is something I can do to help him fully recover I will but if he won't fully recover I would rather know now and put him in the freezer then have him limping around in pain then just die anyways.
He is lying down and holding the leg out behind him with the foot curled. I will try and get some pictures but I am home alone and can't hold him and take pictures.
