I have posted a thread on here all about her Called the-amazing-blind-white-crested-duck and hope to start a YouTube channel about her because it has been a hard but awesome journey. Please read my thread and if there is anything you would like to share about your drake i would love to hear itWould like to hear more about your blind duck!

Edit: just read it, and it's a lovely story. Blind animals really can adapt and have a good quality of life.
They can have a good life....Once you accept that their life is different and different is not bad and enjoy them just the same everyday you will find joy and a little extra work......lolThanks - will check your thread out!

Its nice to talk to someone that has a blind duck......Thanks for sharing with meI completely agree - as an observer, I know my "special" drake's life is more difficult than his siblings' because of his disability, but the important thing is that he doesn't know it's different for others, and he just does the best he can. I was amazed to discover that he can go up the ramp to his coop at night, and that he heads up when he hears us coming to secure the coops (the others just loiter and wait to be herded in, sigh). Such a smart guy...he's never felt sorry for himself...he just enjoys each day and attends to his important duck business. At first, I really wasn't sure if I had made the right decision not euthanizing him because he has to survive in a large free range, mixed species flock, but he's a trooper. I know I made the right decision now.
Thanks for sharing your story - it may help someone who's on the fence about how to proceed with a blind duck understand that this kind of impairment doesn't automatically mean a poor quality of life...and it may also inspire people.
That's a good ideaYou guys should start a "Special Needs Duck Thread'' like the breed threads
