[Harley_Duck]

Hello, I am a LVT and adopted a single Welsh harlequin duckling that was in need of a home. She was only 7 days old when I got her. Initially, the goal was to rehab and re-home, she (Harley Duck) had splay leg and needed to be hobbled. Long story short, the hobbling may or may not have caused tendon torsion. I am lucky enough to work with a veterinarian that is versed in exotic/avian medicine, so we took X-rays which looked promising. We attempted the corrective procedure for the tendon torsion and found that Harley Duck is unfixable... So I have copped with the situation and decided to keep her. Harley Duck is currently 2 months and 16 days old. She is recovering from her procedure.

I have visited this forum/community several times during my adventure with a single duckling, and it's been quite helpful.

Kind regards,
Harley Duck.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Aww...what a sweet heart!! Single poultry can be kept, but they can get lonely. Make sure to spend lots of quality time with het to keep her desire for life going.

Good luck with her and welcome to our roost!
