Most people here know I have two little ducklings, a female pekin named Georgie and a little Mystery duckling of undetermined breed named leppy. Well Leppy started acting abit strange tonight. I noticed when I locked them up in their night pens, that Lep would walk for a little while, but then he would just lay down. When I went towards him he would get up and evade me, but after a minute would lay down again.
I went out again a bit ago to see if his energy had picked up any, but everyone was settled in and snoozing for the night. I reached in and he let me pet him for a few and then got up wandered to the front of the cage. He does not seem to be obviously sick or anything, no cough, no sneezing, no runny nose or eyes, and no obvious injuries or feather loss.
I also noticed the babies were not laying together. They used to always lay next to each other. Don't know if it's just their age, or if it could have anything to do with Leps weird behavior.
I may be over reacting, but I could just tell it was unusual. Could he just be tired, or am I right ot be worried....any ideas at all?
