My duck is limping what do i do?

[cheyennelucille]

I just recently got two pelkin ducklings. Earlier today she/he seemed to be doing fine but he/she developed a limp when i went to go feed them. What do i do? It doesnt seem to put much pressure on it.

Welcome!

As you have already received links to some good starting points, I will just wish you and your little cutie all the best.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

I would post on the duck threads first. Ducklings frequently have niacin deficiencies which causes trouble walking, etc. Welcome to Backyard chickens.
