My new khaki campbell duck (Crooked) has something wrong with his/her foot/leg. It's the right one. I actually picked Crooked out because I have a "thing" for special needs animals, and Crooked's foot, at the time, was a little turned in. Crooked was getting around just fine, although occassionally tripping on hisself/herself.
But a few days have passed and Crooked's leg (from the joint down) is progressively turning more and more in. He/she is having difficulty walking and standing, although she/he's still able to move where he/she wants, it's a little pained to watch because it's done in a series of flops and sliding.
The other leg is just fine, and other than the leg, nothing else is wrong that I can see.
Does anybody have any idea of what this could be, and how to fix it?
Another question: what age do ducklings become able to be sexed by the tail curl?
