Hobbling duck

[Bridger Davis]

A video of her walking would be helpful.


Is she eating and drinking?

I would run my hand up and down her leg and feel for any inflamed area's and checking the bottom of her feet for any signs of bumblefoot or anything sharp thats poking into her skin.As @Chicken really mentioned could she have gotten into anything toxic?Dead Carcass,Stagnate water or rotten food can all cause botulism.

Its sounds like you have her well taken care of currently.

OK I'll get a video ASAP. I did feel around her, and I there is no inflammation, bumblefoot, or poking objects that I can see. I can't imagine she got into anything toxic, the food is fresh, the water is changed frequently, etc. but as a precautionary measure, I'll clean the coop and change out water once again. I let her out with the rest, and while she's keeping up fairly well with them, she's still tipping over a bit...

OK well @MasterOfClucker @Miss Lydia @chickens really the video refuses to load to youtube, so I can't show you guys what her walk looks like. It's ever so slight, and she seems to be doing fine. Perhaps it was/is botulism... I found a yucky water container on one side of the yard... What should I do as an extra step of precaution?? I just want to make triple sure that she's going to be OK. Ideas???

Keep her in a warm quiet place with vitimans and healthy treats and im sure she will be fine.You can do a charcoal flush on her to detox her body of the bateria but thats your choice.

Keep us updated

Possibly a sprained leg? If she is doing okay I wouldn't worry..

Just in case you decide to take @MasterOfClucker advise.

Thanks @chickens really @Miss Lydia and @MasterOfClucker .
She slept in the coop with the rest of them last night because she seemed to be doing great last night. This morning when i went to check on her, I was horrified to find..... No I'm just kidding I wanted to scare you guys lol. She's doing great still and is keeping up with the others. And I found the second ever egg this morning!! Yay!!
