sold my ducks BC we are moving. Told the to call me if issues. They had predators but assured me they were protected.
Predator back got their chickens so asked if I would buy back the ducks.
Picked them up an hour ago. One wouldn't get up while we were loading them. She has bumble foot with I will deal with in the morning (I need a scalpel)
But her hock joint looks swollen. She takes a few steps the falls and just sits there. She will stand but not really move
The one on the right looks swollen to me. The same foot has bumble. She's not trying to keep up with the group at all.
What is my best course of action?
I can cage her in the ducks coop so she is close to friends but they are generally out in the field. I could also cage her in the chicken coop they hang in their coop more. And just treat the bumble foot in the morning and keep her walking limited.
I can bring her in the house but I am going to be listing in the next couple weeks.
The duck on the left seems to have a hunchback. That is not a momentary scrunch that is the only way she walks. Is this lack of vitamins?
I don't know if it is just BC they are molting but they look like garbage and they were so light when I picked them up. I am heartbroken they came back to me this way.
I have put peas in their water and Pu their food out and their pool is full.
If anyone has any recommendations please let me know
Oh and is poultry cell of to give to them?
It has niacin in it.
Thank you so much
