My duckling is doing well. Unfortunately, due to the slipped tendon he/she will never have use of that leg. But he/she has pretty good balance and keeps up with the flock rather well by hopping around. I think its a female, as it is making quacking sounds (I've heard females get louder and start quacking faster than males?), rouen duck. Here's pictures of my special duck. ![](https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/6296574/width/350/height/700)
