Hello. I'm new to here, so I've been posting a few questions. I have five female runners i got as ducklings in May. One of them grew up deformed, kind of crooked. I can't decide if its her back or legs. She gets around, hops instead of runs and she flaps her wings like the others, she just goes in circles. From what I've read I decided it's either a birth defect (ducky scoliosis?) or malnutrition when growing? She is more timid then the others and often by the time she decides she will eat the treats i put out the other ducks have already finished them off. I don't think she is in pain so i was just going to let her live her little crooked life. Any input on what it might be? Should i get her checked out by the vet or as long as she eats, drinks, and gets around then she is fine? Thanks
