Daffy's leg was hanging backwards so I splinted it with two cotton buds and some elastoplast for a few days.  Gave her food and water, kept her in a warm box with fresh hay, and suddenly she stood up and walked!  What a fillip that gave me!  She is now back in with the others and holding her own.  She is tiny compared to my Khakis, so I don't think she can be a white Campbell - could she be a tame Aylesbury?  They're smaller aren't they?

After all her trauma poor Daffy is no more.  When I went out to them this morning she didn't come rushing out of the shed as usual so I went in to look for her - she was swinging her head from one side to the other and one eye was partly closed.  It seemed like a stroke to me - can ducks get strokes.  Anyway I just left her with food and when I went back a half hour or so later she must have got herself going and down to the water and she had drowned!  It must have been very quick. The others seem fine but I just hope it was a stroke and nothing infectious.  Poor Daffy - she had a sad life but I hope she had some peace while she was here.  She was certainly loved and well looked after anyway, but I hate losing any animals, that's why I don't kill and eat my own.  Other folks ones are OK

Oh, shame. Poor Daffy - at least she had a "ducky" end, where she was cared for.
