Some ducky goings-on at our place...

- Duck house II - the sequel finally being put together.

- One of the young ducks suddenly refused to walk, hardly gave a peep, did not join the group for the pea party ... moved to the mobile hospital (half of an apple crate), given vit/min mix in water and peas, did not eat at all for several hours --- and was fine and walking well in the morning. Insect bite?

- The New generation ducks don't know what snails and slugs are. They never had the opportunity to meet one because the veterans eradicated them last year already. So we need to ... import snails from neighbors. What is the world coming to. The ducks were super suspicious toward a big blob of snails at first so I had to separate them out a bit... and then realization dawned and boom, gone.

Could have been or early stages of niacin deficiency.Peas give some niacin but I am not sure anyone has figured out how many peas in a day are giving them the 10 mg they are suppose to get.
Good to hear whatever it was the duckling recovered.
