Drake is not standing up very well...

The closest vet that we have here is about 5 min away but doesn't take any ducks. I'll keep looking.

Here, sorry I couldn’t get a very good picture. But if your on your iPhone you can zoom in.

That leg on the bottom of the picture looks swollen, could possibly be the reason for the hard walking.

What do you feed?.....

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'd keep him up in a small area for a few days let him rest his leg. Maybe do some warm Epsom salt compresses or soaks [don't let him drink the salt water it's also a laxative] Sometimes if an injury rest and soaks can help. Good feed also. Try adding some Nutritional or Brewers yeast to his feed for a while also 1 Tab per cup of feed.

I m using Purina poultry feed crumbles for the duck feed.
I forgot about using Epsom salt (silly me).

 

[Miss Lydia]

Not too late. Let us know how he is doing after some soaks and rest for a few days.

Okay.

Chick, Flock Raiser, or Layer?

Are the hens laying yet? And how long have you been feeding the layer?
