She's not a crested duck is she?
Sounds like you are doing everything right. If she's not crested, maybe she is just timid and everything throws her into a tizzy?
Well, if she's like my dog who is afraid of her own shadow. But, I don't know if ducks can be like that without something else going on?

LOL! What's funny is that my Drake is the one that is afraid of everything - Gabby is fearless usually... She's not crested. I'm at a loss!!!!

How old is Gabby? I remember reading that @CayugaJana went through this with one of hers maybe 2 I can't remember and hers grew out of it. I hope the same for Gabby.

They'll be 13 weeks on Thursday. I really do hope she grows out of it and it's not something permanent with her. It's so sad to watch her flapping around. Hopefully @CayugaJana can tell me when hers grew out of this.

I hope so too, I can't imagine how scary it is to watch and feel so helpless

That stinks she’s had another one. Mine grew out of it right around the age of yours. Just to make sure, she’s not getting a ton of treats everyday? She’s getting a balanced diet of the above meals. And handful or two a day of treats? Just trying to rule anything out. Let me do some research today and get back to you.

Thanks so much for helping to research! They have 1 cup of feed mixture each per day - and 1 pan of duck soup to share. The duck soup (this morning for example) had 1 half corn cob, 1 shredded kale leaf, half cup peas, 2 strawberries, half ounce of B complex and a sprinkle of grit. That's the only treats they will get today until bedtime - i'm still training them with a small handful of meal worms to get them into their coop. I vary the treats each day - to include other things too like watermelon, dandelion, turnip greens, shredded carrots in the duck soup. Do you think I should remove treats completely for a while?

I wonder if the Turip greens are toxic to Ducks?..

oh goodness - i knew that too much spinach is bad, but didn't see anything about turnip greens. I can withhold those for sure. Fortunately I love them - so they will not go to waste!

I don't think Turnip greens are toxic I am trying to find info on it though,
