Now that might be doable. I could also put him in my new critter keeper tote maybe he would be more calm in there and less room to try to pace around since its round.
Wonder about trying some type of anti inflammatory like children's ibuprofen since we have recently heard it is safe for birds.
@casportpony And @CayugaJana
Care to add y'alls thoughts to this also?

The leg definitely looks swollen. I would think if the “hip” joint was out of place, he wouldn’t be able to walk at all. You can give him 0.25mL of children’s ibuprofen 2X a day. For a bird that is 4-8lbs. But I would still restrict his movements so he doesn’t think his leg is better then over do it making it worse. I would restrict movement, wrap the whole leg for support and leave it or attach to the body like Pyxis suggested, and give ibuprofen. Can you do it for a week?

I’m seriously coming your way Friday. Plus I don’t have the hubs who is in a hurry to get where we are going. So I can bring some stuff by and tell the girls hello. And I can threaten Wyatt within an inch of his life not to go through your belongings. But then again I did that the last time we were there too. The Hubs is promoting to a Chief in the Navy and we have to go meet all the other Chiefs and their wives. I seriously hate talking to people I don’t know. Ugh.....

I have lots of vet wrap and I can get ibuprofen easy. But you can still stop by and say hello! I'll just hold those boys down and pinch their cute little cheeks if they don't behave like a creepy old lunch lady
I'm sure this little drake only weighs about a pound and a half. Two so messed tops. But I can weigh him. So probably just a couple drops of the ibuprofen would do it.

I think maybe it’s just a growth thing, I hope. Tell me this doesn’t look like angel wing yet. I haven’t had this with Calls yet.

And a new pic of Bonkers looking so handsome

I can see it sticking out. But can’t tell if it’s bending out away from the body, or if it’s just how he is holding it.

You have some really really cute ducks. I love Malibu and her dark bill.
