Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

Oh my gosh no need to apologize we want to know what is happening. We are concerned for her too. And want to help as much as we can. Don't you dare stop rambling

If you stop rambling we will all be worried sick. We love the updates!

Yay, thanks for saying that!! If I let Callie (the newest baby) sleep with the twins, is it too late to bond with Joy now? I hope I didnt mess that up.

all you can do is try it but keep and eye on them. I'd put Callie with Joy as much as you can just so she's got someone

Callie & Joy cuddled together for a little while. It was sweet. Joy sure does have her appetite back. Phewww.... And, I think I've determined that she may not be in pain. It might just be that she is Spoiled Rotten!!
But that is totally ok. I am truly mindblown tho, of the size difference between her & the 3 older ones that she hatched with. They are literally 3 times her size. I have tried & tried to weigh her but it's tough. If she stands, sits, or lays on her side, they're all different weights, AND......she wiggles nonstop during the process. Somewhere around 3oz, give or take a few (between 2.6 - 3.3) Might even be off a bit there. The others are between 8 - 10oz. Big difference, huh?! Also, I've noticed something & have to come up with a fix, like the walker. Her feet wont flatten out, the tips of her toes curl up as she tries to step, walk or stand. So.... if possible, just like hobbles for splay leg, I'm hoping to find a way or something to make, that might flatten her feet (ease her "toe bones" down instead of pointing up) so she can step & walk easier. I beleive it might make a significant difference. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on this, please let me know. Thanks so much for all of you!!

Thank you so much. I think so too, but of course I'm biased.

It’s amazing the size difference. All are adorable. You can make little shoes for Joy. I believe @casportpony has pics of how to do it.

Oh perfect. I was hoping there was something I can try. Have you ever heard of this? Where the front of the feet/toes roll upward?
