I have this duckling about 7 or 8 weeks old. I noticed his leg wasn’t normal this morning he can’t straighten it or walk on it what do I do? It’s happened before and it went back by itself but this time it doesn’t seem to be

Can you feel around and examine it closely for any injuries?
He was back to normal a hour later but I did feel around and I’m pretty sure it was a dislocation or something like that, I’m getting niacin supplements since it could be related to that but I’ve never had any other ducklings have any problems so I’m gonna keep a close eye on him

From the looks of the photo his leg is caught under that lid thing. That was likely what you were looking at.

It does look like that in the photo but he wasn’t there before I had moved him away from the other ducklings and closer to water and food and this has happened before
