When packed In a box it’s easy to get stepped on.

Be sure to use 1 Tab of Nutritional yeast per cup of feed.

She definitely could have been stepped on because we went inside my parents house to go say hi and we left the windows open in the car. When we came back 10 minutes later one was out of the box and the one that's hurt was in the box. I seriously thought I lost my brand new duck. I almost cried because they're so gorgeous and I wouldn't want to lose such a pretty animal the first hour I had them.

You should've seen the parents. They have silver bodies with white (looks almost checkered on their chest) and teal green wings. My jaw dropped when I saw them and my husband was obsessed with them the instant he saw the parents.

A breeder at the chicken swap. She specifically breeds her Muscovy to be colorful and different from anyone else.

Very cool. Look forward to seeing them when they begin to feather in to. How's the little ones leg today?

You're so helpful to me @Miss Lydia, I truly appreciate you.

This is what we are dealing with. See how her tail is bent up, she wobbles when she walks. She's eating and drinking very well. She's not acting sick, just really wobbly when she walks. I've been doing vitamins and nutritional yeast in their food plus I'm giving them peas every day. Her wobbling doesn't seem as bad today though.

And Pickles legs are almost straight! She's standing so tall now. They're loving their new area except they haven't realized they have a pond my husband did yesterday. It's just a small one until they grow then we will do a larger size.

Very cool. Look forward to seeing them when they begin to feather in to. How's the little ones leg today?

Our small pond... He made a slope in it with rocks so they can get out or rest on them when they need to

3rd from left side of the pic? Using it for balance? Or is that permanent? You could start her well all of them on a liquid b complex and see if that gets her going quicker. We’ve seen some amazing recoveries from using it. It’s in the cattle section at TSC an says injectable but just peel off the foil use a dropper and pull out 1 ml for your little one if you put it over the peas she’ll hopefully get full dose. Which is better than putting it in water because it doesn’t water it down.
