My Duck Reggie (and a duck diaper issue)

[Mybackyardpeepers]

I’m so sorry. Must be some kind of skeletal problem. Do you think she’s in pain?

Besides being very wobbly (her feet cross) she eats, drinks and swims. When she stands if the food dish is on the ground she arches her neck funny and acts like she can't reach. When she lays down she is fine. I'm going to build raised feeder/water table for her. I almost have their duck house built but do not think she will be able to go in/out on her own. Now she has been surprising me and getting out of their little water pool by herself!!!!!

Then she is doing okay that’s what important doing everything she can and having some independence. It’s when she gives up you need to be concerned. How’s her an Cocoa doing?

So when she refuses to walk then? They are doing great, Cocoa is a little more progressed (pretty much fully feathered) loves the water more (actually acts like a duck) she is very stubborn though (hyper, hard to catch) lmao. I'm so not used to ducks!!!!!

Not necessarily walk but all other things like eating and enjoying her bath depressed. You’ll know

Ok. I hope so just don't want her suffering. Sometimes I look at her and get a sad feeling inside, I know I did a good thing taking her just don't want to do a bad thing keeping her alive if that makes sense!

I sure understand. Ducks can really amaze us in how they adapt. Just enjoy everyday you have with her.

Thanks for all your advice and help!!!

Hey if you can give them a secure place outside I’d def try her there. The more she learns to adapt the happier she’ll be an she has a best friend now to help her feel secure.
