Duck in horrible shape!! Please help!

[FernbergFarms]

So I still have them. The owners came back last Friday and they really haven’t said much to me about getting them back. They are looking a lot better but they are still bow legged and skittish. The female is feathering out nice and I’ve been trying to make sure they exercise their legs daily! I can get pics later!!

Did you get the B complex?

 

[FernbergFarms]

No I wasn’t able to find it at our feed store... we will be going to another feed store this weekend tho so maybe I’ll find it there. But for now I have a vitamin booster.

Here is another update-
So I was at work and they came up the my house and took them home. Before they did that they were asking tips on how to join the flock and I was telling them it was gonna be hard to get 3 boys to 1 girl together without anything happening. So I gave them some tips on that and then while I was at work the went to my house and brought them home.

That's unfortunate, but you did your best and that's all you can do. You gave those ducks some relief for a little while and did a wonderful job taking care of them.

Animal control now please, they can’t be in that situation

I agree with @Duckbreeder2020.......... You took wonderful care of them while you had them but those ducks still have their whole lives ahead of them, and they don’t deserve to live the rest of their lives in abuse. Especially that poor girl, she will get torn apart by three drakes. They need a better home

Maybe you could somehow persuade them to give them up. I wish we had some pictures you could show them of what happens to a females duck when drakes over mate them.

I like the idea of trying to educate them. If the issue is that the teen "loves" them, it might be helpful to get a neutral third party to point out the lack of love in their treatment. Is there a duck club at the local 4H/FFA?

This is what their poor female will have to put up with
