Is this duck okay?

She seems to be doing pretty good. Eating, drinking, grooming herself.

Oh, she's so sweet!!!

I went ahead and set up my bathtub for her so she's got something soft to sit on, hopefully she can be stress free in there.

Your so kind. Giving your bathroom away to a hurt duck.

Also. I've had a 4 cup measuring cup filled with water in there for her. All day today it seems she only drank about 1 cup. Should I be concerned about that? Seems like it might not be enough? She does only weigh 3 lbs at the most so I guess maybe it's enough but I'm not sure I read somewhere that ducks need to drink 4 cups a day

I have no idea how much water my ducks drink in a day. That's a good question. They splash so much of it there is no way I could ever accurately measure it either.

When I was tube feeding my duck who weighed about 3.5 lbs she got 70mls of formula 3x a day. And it was about 2/3 water. So.... I feel like they can't need to ingest 4 cups of water.

Each duck drinks 11 ounces a day

I looked it up. I’m pretty sure I remembered it correct

Ooo sorry. They drink 1 liter

Source? It has to vary per duck. A healthy amount for a call duck or a pekin has to be different. Yeah?
