Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with some info or advice about my
duck. He's a Silver Appleyard and over the last couple of days he's
developed a limp.
I've checked his feet and compared them to his brother and sisters
and they all look the same, so no bumble-foot - if ducks get
bumble foot? and there are no sores or breaks in his skin, but he's
gimping around looking miserable and lying down rather than
trying to get to food or to water.
Right now I've taken him out of the run and have him in the laundry
(aka quarantine for every thing except the goat and children...), and
I'm hoping this will right itself if he doesn't have to work it too
much for the next couple of days.
If anyone has any experience with apparently uninjured ducks limping
I'd love to hear any advice you might have,
Thanks
Andi

How old are they all -- how many girls and boys?
