Duckling Hurt-Please Help

[Chica Lady]

Hi, I have a 3 wk old duckling that I believe the right leg has come out of the socket at the hip. Please help with any advice. I cannot find a bird vet close by. See pics.

Is there any chance you can take a video of it walking, upload to youtube or vimeo, then copy/paste the link here?

Also, these ducks are all the same age. 3 wks. there is a major size difference between the hurt one and the other 2. Do you think maybe the bigger ones are not letting him near the food. I have separated the hurt one.

Hmmm, I've never seen anything quite like that. Did it get dropped or stepped on?

@Pyxis @casportpony Sure looks painful. A vet maybe able to get it back in. I’d def try to keep him off of it till you know what is wrong

Which part of the legs is affected/involved?

@Pyxis, what do you think?

Could be they are keeping him away good idea giving him some TLC but his leg needs attention. @casportpony have you ever put a leg back in its socket?
