So a couple months ago I posted about a duck that was limping and I thought maybe got stepped on by a goat or something, over the next couple days she got better and we put our two other ducks (around 12 weeks old) outside. She is perfectly fine which is why I thought maybe our roo messed her up by pushing her onto the ground when mounting her. Two days ago one of our other ducks started to limp, it wasn't horrible just would limp so I thought maybe our rooster did something to her as well. Yesterday she was fine but today she can barely walk, she lays down all the time but will walk when she sees I have food but it looks bad. Could the roo done this as well? Is there something I should do, like maybe a splint? Any advice is appreciated, she is eating and drinking fine and I have her separated. I can upload a video to youtube if needed and give the link

Do you have a local vet you can call or take the duck in. It doesn't look good. But its probably not deadly if its treated right by a vet. Just make it as comfortable as possible in the mean time.

I will try to find one.. I cant get her in until Monday though, is there anything I should do until then?
