Is there anything else I can be doing for my injured duck? A week ago one of my 8wk old muscovies had somehow gotten injured inside the duck house overnight. She will not place any weight on her right leg and her right hock is significantly swollen. After a day of no improvement I took her...

A couple of my muscovies are starting to get angel wing. So today I got some pantyhose, and well... I'll just show you the results. I suppose I'm not looking for any specific advice (though I welcome it! The health of the birds comes first). Just started this thread to share the hilarity...
