Hey everyone
This is my first batch of ducks, and unfortunately one, a 2 and a half week old khaki campbell has an injured leg:( He still uses it when he walks, just kind of limps between the food and water. I don't know how it happened just noticed one day that one of my 11 duckies was limping. At first i thought it was just a sprain and separated him with one other buddy. When they go for their daily swim in the tub he paddles just as good as the others and i can barely tell him apart. Now that i've moved them outside (about time;) he's back in with the rest. should i separate him again. And is the leg broken it looks like its kind of crooked but he still uses it. if it is broken should i splint it, and how??? (sigh) so many questions.
