Duck having trouble walking!!

[Janay]

Miss Lydia,
Thank you for that article. Hmmm, but I am feeding my ducks Brewer's yeast. I grind up 150 tablets and stir it into an almost-full 5 gal bucket of feed + oats. I thought that was enough. I also feel that this duck is too far gone to be helped...

She maybe but if she is able to eat and still have a good quality of life, there are quite a few folks been on BYC that had handicapped ducks/chickens and geese. and probably other animals as well. You may just have to limit her roaming so she doesn't wear out her legs.

Thanks. Yeah, she generally lays/sits down a lot when she gets tired. But as I said above, it might be a "he"! I wonder, if it's a drake, will be be able to mate?

Possibly in a pool that's deep. like a large size kiddy pool.

Right, I have a large kiddie pool. I guess I will just wait and see what happens!

I hope it's ok!

Make sure he has a way in and out easily so he doesn't jump.

 

[Janay]

Yes, thank you. I have a ramp attached to the pool so the ducks can walk right into the pool. Then I have a brick in the pool to help them get out.

So now you wait and see but the ole saying" where there's a will there's a way" hopefully holds true here.

Thank you all for your help!
