Hi All!
Alright...so I have a few duckies from my month-ish old flock that I'm having trouble with! I've posted pics below with a little information for each. If anyone can help out with any of these issues...it would be great. It makes me so sad to see them like this!!! HELP!
This first one I think is the easiest...is this the infamous Angel Wing? She is the only one whose wings are coming in like this...and I've never had a duck with Angel Wing before.
This one is a little trickier...I have two ducks that are limping. When you are looking at them, it is the left foot that they are both having problems with. It seems almost as if the foot "doesn't work." while the other toes curl up when i lift their feet, the gimpy foot doesn't. It just...hangs there. They limp when they walk. A few people have suggested maybe a Niacin deficiency...but I've been giving it to them now for awhile with no results...the feet are not borken however...and do not seem to be causing any pain...they just can't use them...
The most peculiar part of it is that they sit funny...unlike the others, their tails are not held up when they sit or walk...they slump over. Almost like a hunch?? They eat fine...drink fine...everything seems to be normal...they swin fine as well! Any thoughts?!? Please help my little guys.
Oh I forgot to mention...I've called bird sanctuaries...vets (although around here...no one deals with birds) and wildlife conservations too. But no one can help...
Thank you all...hopefully someone has some insight!
Cheers!
