spraddle leg

[duckophile1998]

one of my indian runners has an issue with one of his legs. upon closer inspection, one of his legs is actually bigger than the other.

he is the smallest and chooses not to eat. is this fixable?

If you can post some pictures of the legs, both the large one and the normal one, it would help. How old is he, and how many other birds and their genders/ages is he with?

update: they are now 19-days old!

what i thought was spraddle leg was actually just an unevenly grown leg and he is now evened out and can walk fine.

he appears to be a runt. i don't know if it is due to him not eating as much. or maybe he is a girl duck.

I've got no experience with ducks so hopefully someone that does will have some insight for you as to what may be going on. You might try posting your concerns on the duck forum here.
