Hi all hoping to get some help for our little mallard.
He recently got kicked or butted by our goat or horse and was limping. WE brought him in the house and are keeping him in here where it is warm and soft so he can heal which he seems to be doing. The limp is less and he is moving around more. BUT. He gets wet. We bring his girl into the house and run them a luke warm bath to swim around in. She stays dry but his feathers seem to get "wet" and she is dry in no time and he takes ages to dry off. If you know what I mean.
What can cause this? He is eating flock raiser gets fresh water several times a day and I am giving him niacin suppliments.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
