Hello. Tweety, my perkin, suddenly cant walk. She was always the strongest and largest ducklings I have. She still is, but this morning I went down to the brooder and she couldnt walk. She seemed like she had lost her equilibrium. I rushed her to the vet and he said that it could be her diet or...

SprAdele leg is when the chick or ducklings leg spreads out under them. One of my ducklings had a really hard time with it, and the vet said it could be cause by slippery surfaces that they were on when they hatch. My ducklings legs would get bad whenever she got out of the water. For some...

Hello! I keep my two ducklings in two small cages put together. They are very happy with it. Instead of a warm side and cool side of the brooder, we have a warm and cool cage! Perhaps you can do something like that? But with larger cages
