I have a duckling that hatched today. His feet are in the shape of a claw. I have made him “braces” of cardboard and bandaids, but he is unable to stand has anyone had a duckling with an extreme deformity and had success in rehabilitation? I feel so bad for him and I want to give him a chance but I don’t want him to suffer.
(I can’t put him in the brooder with my other ducklings because they will peck him and he cannot defend himself)
