We have a Runner Duck who went lame three weeks ago. We brought her inside but she was missing her flock.
Since she is using her leg now, a bit, to balance I put her out with the flock.
I see she is the last out of the pond and often won’t try unless she is very hungry or it’s time to go to the coop at night. I worry she isn’t getting enough food, but I plucked her up a few nights and brought her in; now it seems her goal is just to move fast enough she can stay with her flock.
I hope she continues ti heal and withstands any jostling by other ducks. I am not sure she will if I bring her inside again.
Attached, pics watching TV with her in an attempt to keep her company...
