Ideal Poultry sends chicks with bumble foot

[KarateHorse]

That is way too small for six ducklings, and after seeing that I'm sure any foot problems they are having is because they are being kept constantly on wet bedding. So, foot problems would be the direct result of improper care, and nothing Ideal did. They did not send you sick ducklings or chicks. If you have been posting around the forums that they sent you sick birds, I would go retract those statements because it's not true. Not trying to sound harsh, just trying to explain clearly what is going on so you can fix it.

This also explains why the chicks have healed and the ducklings haven't because, just as I suspected, the chicks have been moved to a dry brooder while the ducks have still been on wet bedding.

You need to move them to a larger brooder ASAP or split them into multiple brooders and implement the waterer changes I posted to keep them dry.

I am going to try to get them in a bigger space. I put a couple inchs of litter in there last night. This morning they are still dry. They didn't soak their litter and all their bellies were dry to. I still agree they need a bigger space they are all 6 pekins. They are growing like crazy.
