Poor Duckling

[shawluvsbirds]

Gosh it is really hard to tell from pictures. Main thing is as long as it can get around, find food and water. . I mean it can live with a deformity as long as you feel it's quality of life isn't suffering. If the foot is totally rotated there may not be any fixing it. So it just comes down to wether you feel it's happy and healthy living with it .
Your doing your best

Anyone have some good links with pictures of duckling/chick slings? I am pretty crafty, but cannot wrap my mind around a sling this little bugger won't slip out of. Going to give it a week and go from there.

Look up poultry pedia I am on my phone and can’t but that link might have a pic. How’s the little one walking with it’s legs now and it’s foot?

You may have to let it droop a little lower but hopefully these help.

Unfortunately, we decided to cull baby duck today. Its feet/legs were not turning and the one foot just would not flip.either. Plus it was alone. I will keep y'all updated on my incubated eggs though. Thank you all for the advice!!

So sorry. It really stinks having to make that decision but sometimes it is for the best. You done and awesome job and gave it a chance.
