My poor little princess duck Miss Muffet is back to not walking and her heavy breathing. I noticed about a week ago she'd starting laying, however at first she was still able to walk. By Saturday I could tell her leg was getting weaker and by Sunday she wasn't moving at all. I now pick her up and move her around and I've been making Tommy sleep by himself in the old duck pen. I came out of the house on Sunday only to be making matters worse for poor Miss Muffet by him trying to mate with her. If her breathing isn't bad enough, here comes big Tommy to ride her like a surf board. She looked like Flat Stanley by the time I kicked him off.
Her clutch of eggs is getting larger so hopefully she'll stop laying and just rest on her eggs. She'll be a great mother, I see her nuzzle Lady's ducklings and its so cute. I think if she can just make it through this phase she'll continue to have a long and happy life. She's still eating so that's positive.
