Here he is. He likes his brewers yeast, I measured it out, not as much as I thought. Takes about 18 tablespoons for 100mg. Container should last long enough.
(In case you're wondering, that rope and stuff is there because his buddy is incapable of getting out of the pool no matter how full it is, so it's there for him to grip, he uses it all the time)

What's going on with his buddy? 2 lil Runner ducks?

What's going on with his buddy? 2 lil Runner ducks?

I've honestly got no idea. The black one (Whom I call Clumsy) gets in and out with no problem, yet stumbles and trips when he walks.
The Indian Runner walks/runs/flies fine, but he cannot figure out how to get out of the pool, I tried adding rocks for steps and he just can't get out. He won't "try", he paces and leans over the side, but won't jump or fly out. Clumsy can jump in/out no problem, doesn't even have to flap his wings.
The poor thing was stuck in the pool for over three days before I figured out he wasn't getting out, I just thought It was coincidence he was in the pool when I went out there.
They're getting a new pen too, just like my bantams. It just takes me a while to get it set up when I'm doing it alone. I use a pet gazebo from TSC and move it once a week to a new grass spot, but there isn't a lot of room inside.

That's nice you figured out a way to help the lil one get out. Bless it's heart..

I like your gazebo are they also in there at night or do you lock them up? Asking because raccoons can reach right in and grab and pull a head right off trying to pull one through the fence we had a member have that happen to their ducklings using one of those gazebos. Hard ware cloth 3' up from bottom is what they did to keep that from happening again

It was originally a chicken swing, but it was the last resort before I'd have to take out the pool and replace it with a small bowl. He caught on quick, so I left it in.

They are left in there at night, it's by my goats. My dogs roam around the chicken houses and gazebos at night. My German Shepherd has a large pen to the left of it and I let him mark his territory around there. Works wonders.
I tried locking them up, but my chickens HATE ducks. So I had to stop it. I'll order some hardware cloth while I order the b complex. Might be a good thing to have, I have huge plans this fall for new runs and coops. I'm wanting to expand my flock. Thank you! !!

I have some very shocking, sad news. Last night Clumsy was playing in his pool and having a great time as usual. This morning I go outside and he was laying next to his pool on his stomach, passed away. It was not expected, he's been doing so well. I'm very heartbroken, but I want to thank you all for the help and kind words you have given me. Thank you

I am so sorry you lost Clumsy
