Duckling Grow-A-Long!

I'm quite certain the one has splayed legs, I think it got worse since bringing them home. She keeps slipping and can't stand up properly. The other one is completely fine.
Here's a picture, and a video.

Poor little dude. With splayed leg chicks we take a little piece of plastic straw and run a hair tie through it and put it on their legs to fix it.

You could even try this, Tooks!

You can try to put it in a shot glass bottom side down.

I saw all those ideas! I think I'll do the band aid one, I was already leaning towards doing using a band aid.

Y'all think I should try treating for it or give it some more time?

I'm gonna put some pine shavings in the brooder and see if that helps at all.

I prefer using the band aid over the hair tie and straw.
I noticed as they bring their legs back together, the straw can cut the inside of the legs.

You can use the material on the picture below (sorry, I don't know the name in English, something like anti-slippery stuff) on top of the puppy pad. One off my ducklings was like that and was much better after putting this material.

I would treat it. If you wait too long, the duckling will be a goner.

That's good! That should help some.

I didn't think of that happening!

Great idea! I'm not sure if we have any of that though, I'll have to look.
