Good luck at the vet! Too bad you couldn't film the rc boats herding the dux!

For that i would had to grow an additional arm and in between the six arms there was barely any room left on my chest… I must have misplaced my centipede DNA somehow…

How to they react to flying drones? I happened to send one near grazing ducks and they were not impressed at all, raised the alarm and fled.

You're thinking in the same direction as i do. That little thing below is currently in some port in China or maybe already on a cargo ship:

I paid just $15 for this…

We just got back! - Update on Blanca Duck's Veterinarian: He is still alive!

I released El Chapo Duckman into the duck-yard, grabbed Blanca and sat her down in a laundry basket, she pooped and flew out. Set her in again and placed a milk-cloth over the basket, she ripped that off and flew out again, so i grabbed her, set her back in the basket and clipped the milk-cloth to the rim of the basket. - Angry, deafening QUACKS!

After biting me, the assistant and the doctor, she received a thorough exam of both legs, her hip and her spine look fine. Nothing wrong with her tendons.
Guess what happened when the vet sat her on the floor: She ran away using both legs almost perfectly and hid under the bench in the exam-room:

Dr. Patton agrees that this is most likely some nerve-damage that will get better and better over time. I should not wrap Blanca's ankle or foot because that might prompt her to keep the leg backwards and not put any weight on it. Just continue with the meal-worm supported physical-therapy in the bath-tub and Vitamin-B. Maybe encourage and help her to walk on both legs correctly. [That means regrowing lots of fingers...]

Just had this idea: At the moment the dux will stay in the duck-yard, maybe i can put Blanca into the duxling-box, so she can be with her friends, but none of the already rowdy drakes will be able to get to her. That's the forecast for tomorrow:

I'm sure she will like that.

Good to hear! You'll probably need him again in the future!

Time to get a pet carrier.

Of course! Pain is always forgotten when stress/fear appears! Or, she was just being Blanca Duck.

And a very fat duck from all the mealworms.

Can you send that this way, please? I'm assuming this is in C(ivilized) degrees.

Glad to hear he didn't find anything serious. Hopefully those nerves heal up. Keep her in a crate where she can't move about too much, and buy a good set of noise-deafening ear protectors (the kind they use around loud explosions).

I check the ducks several times a day. I have 8 hens left. So go up today and count 7 several times I look under the tree, under the bushes in their coop. Still 7. There is a warm egg in the yard that the crows are eating. I assume she was grabbed by a predator and pooped out an egg in fear. I go back to check them again and make them some peas. When I start feeding peas I have 8 ducks again. Its a mystery where she was hiding.
