Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

To me it looks like the hock joint is hyperextended. I think it she were mine i would try splinting the legs into the proper position.

Things are ok. She herself is good, eating, drinking, pooping good. But her legs are the tough part. Seems they're only getting worse. They Will bend forward correctly, and it doesnt seem to hurt her, but her brain(?) just keeps shooting the message "STRAIGHT". So I just have to find a way, if possible, to change that. I'm going to try something different today & see if that works. Shes not trying to "step" much anymore for walking because it's just "straight, straight, straight". Trying to stay positive for her.

I looked all over and couldn’t find any visual for this do you have any idea or example. K?

I don't think the brain has anything do do with it.

This is what I would do:

Thank goodness, that you think it's not the brain. I hope not. I wish I could find a vet that wanted to positively work thru this like I do, not just put her down. He was strictly saying brain deformity, it's all neurological.
This idea is exactly what I'm thinking of, just wasnt sure if it would hurt her or be bad for her in anyway, so now, I think we'll give it a try. Should I do a little at a time? Or just bend completely and secure? How long do you think?

I would do both legs and recheck in 72 hours.

This is about to make me scream. Her upper leg area is so small and the space between her knee and 1st toe/nail, thatbit just wont wrap. It keep pushing off the corner

I think its cutting off circulation, but it's barely tight enough to even hang on.

That's how I did mine. I think I remove the shoe too.

Think is cutting off circulation? What?
