My duckling can't walk!

[love_ducklings818]

My duckling injured her foot a week ago, it looks way better now! But she trained herself to walk with her upper legs, I don't know how to train her to use her feet! Please help!

Welcome to BYC!

Could you post a video of your duckling walking, upload it to youtube or Vimeo, and then copy/paste the link here.

Could we get a video?

It might take a little bit before he will walk for me, but as soon as he does, I will show you a video

Just take a video of him trying to get around. Is there any chance of a vet?

Can you tell us about the injury?
What happened?
What did you do to treat the injury?
How old is the duckling?
What feed are you using?

All this will help the great duck folks to help you.

I think she sprained her foot while playing with her friends, she is about 2 weeks old. I put her in a box with a towel, and let her swim, helped her walk, and did some exercises with her, I feed her some organic duck starter food, and fresh greens. But she started walking with her upper legs and bill, I tried to stop her and help her walk normally, but she won't stop, her foot looks healed and feels healed, and I don't know how to train her to walk normally. None of my ducks have hurt there foot before and I hope I can let her be with her friends soon!
