Hi, I have a 2.5 week old mallard duckling. She is a rescue so is with me all the time but we try to spend a couple hours a day outside with the other ducks so she can integrate back into being a duck as she grows. Because this is my first duckling I’m not sure if her actions are normal. Her wings in the past few days have been twitching a lot, almost nonstop. They just kinda lift up and down repeatedly, when she sleeps in calms down mostly
She is on duckling specific food so has enough niacin in her diet. She is eating and drinking like normal but does seem a bit more lethargic and not able to jump onto things as easily (but I might just be paranoid and paying more attention).
is this normal? Could it be a sign of hardware disease since she free ranges a couple hours a day and I don’t watch everything she eats? Thank you so much!
