[Luv Ducks]

I woke up to let them out for a bit and I saw the duck standing! I opened their door and it started running!

I am so glad to see this. I agree though that they need to be fed properly. I think if they get hungry enough they will eventually eat their feed. Most animals will not starve if there is feed in front of them even if they don't care that much for it. Good luck with your Ducks and I am glad that it is at least doing better today.

thanks! It started limping a bit… it tries to stand upright but it’s chest hold it down a bit. I think it’s overweight. Is there any way to fix this

Anddd it’s back they went under the porch (I tried stopping them) and when that duck came out it was falling again.
it seems to fall onto its rear... Overweight duck?

@WannaBeHillBilly ? I read through your old posts about limpy and some of the videos reminded me of my duck. Do you still go on BYC?

Yes, stop feeding treats. You can try and entice them to eat it by mixing their feed with water to make a wet mash.

I’ve tried that before… they seem unable to eat it if it’s mash

I hope in the morning it’ll be better, I’m probably never letting them down there ever again
