Hello.
Last night I had some ducklings hatch and after a long stressful night (they needed some assistance) both are still alive. One however has both feet still curled, his leg joins look normal but he can't walk or stand, he's just shuffling around. His yolk sac is absorbed although his tummy still looks slightly swollen. Does anyone have any advice? I've read somewhere about making shoes to correct this but not sure when to intervene again, would there be a chance it could correct itself. Most information on Google say it may be an infection he picked up during incubation and that he won't make it and will die he seems alert and is cheering a lot and moving himself around as best he can
Any advice greatly appreciated
Hannah

Hi so sorry for the late response I had so much problems logging on that I had to write to this website and complain, they finally responded and now I am back on, so sorry about this little duckling just want to say more people hatch deform duckling when they try to hatch them with incubators, when ducklings are hatched by there mother's they don't have those problems the mother's know just how to incubate them and turn them...
