My duck has hurt its leg

[kimwilliams03]

Hi I'm just looking for abit of advice,
I have 5 ducks around 5 weeks old, today they were out in the garden and as I was trying to get them into their home one ran away from me and fell over a small brick, the duck is now limping, she can walk so far but then she will fall over and cannot run fast, I don't know if she has just hurt it or if it is broken, does anybody have any advice?
Thank you!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your duckling, you might also want to post in the Emergencies forum if you find anything wrong when you catch the duck and examine it https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

If you touch her leg, is it painful to her? Does she put any weight on it? You can post on the ER section, giving answers to these questions, to help them make a health assessment. Hope the duck will be fine. Maybe it's just a sprain.
