Duck swirls often

[jendarwin]

For quiet few weeks now I see my duck swirl a couple of times.. he tries to catch his leg swirling.. is it normal? Because the female does not do any of this.. has someone seen this?

 

[jendarwin]

Anyone

Can you elaborate on the swirling behavior? I'm not sure people understand. Is he turning in a circle to chase his leg or something else?

 

[jendarwin]

He's after his leg in circles

 

[rachelsflock]

Hmm, I wonder if he's having joint pain or something. Maybe a vitamin B supplement in his water would help, or at least prevent future issues. I'm interested to see if anyone else has any ideas.

I do give him all that.. he plays and runs around well.. he eats n poops well too.. but I wonder why he does this weird thing..

 

[jofanx]

Maybe it itches? Have you taken a close look at it? Skin rashes?

Bouncer also loved to noodle his feet...My others love noodling each other's feet....As long as it eating well and doing good...?...Its just playing....A toilet paper roll is a great toy for Ducklings as long as it stays dry...

Best wishes..
