Duckling with bad legs

[Dulcedeleche80]

Hi, I have the same issue with one of my ducklings. Born on the 32nd day, pipped the same day. She has one good leg and the other one is cramped up. Can’t stretch it out only if I force it. Doesn’t seem to bother the duckling when I touch the leg. Toes are held together and not moving either. She’s scooting around, eats and drinks. But I wonder if I can do something. And how it ended with the little chick from this initial post. My duckling is now about 72 hours from the egg. Is an incubator baby the picture is from yesterday so 48h

If you can straighten the foot/leg it may help to make a splint.

Thank you. Actually I don’t think I can traighten the leg. If I do I have to force it quite hard. I was already preparing a splint. But than I found out I couldn’t move the joint.
