Sick Or Weak Duckling?

@Miss Lydia

I wanted to thank you so much for all your help!! Her leg isn’t completely better, but she’s limping on it instead of curling it next to her stomach!! I’ll think she’ll continue to improve. So, i just wanted to thank you for helping me out with her. I don’t know what i would have done otherwise. I also just put 1ml in their water. So, that’s how she is getting the B complex.

If you can isolate her and get her to take the 1 ml over something she will devour so that she gets the whole thing that would be so good for her.

Ugh, I know. I don’t have any treats for them yet. I also don’t really know what they can eat for treats at their age. They are basically a week now. Penny is just so small, she’s not even really growing. I don’t know what kind of treats she’ll be able to swallow with that little bill.

just make sure you have some "chick grit" for them if they eat the meal worms. They will need it for digestion. Or maybe cut up some tiny pieces of fruit like watermelon, strawberries, cantelope, blueberries, grapes. Little tiny bits and pieces they will love it.

I get what they have at tractor supply, "Flock Party" but I doubt theres much difference
between brands.

If you've got some fruit at the house that you can cut up small try that with the B-complex over it until you get these. These are NOT cheap by any means but they sure do love them.

Ok! Thanks for the good info. I’ll get the mealworms and get some watermelon for them at the store tomorrow.

That’s such good news!! @DuckyDonna gave great advice on how to get them to take the liquid B I usually put the meal worms in my hand and kind of crush them into tiny pieces so they can eat them easier. I’d keep her from over doing while she is recovering rest the leg and water therapy are the best way for healing.
