The wheelchair worked nicely but we euthanized both Steve and Jinx on Wednesday. Both had open sores on the hocks and were unable to keep themselves clean. I decided it wasn't fair for either of them anymore.
Neither could swim, poor Steve would try to zoomie but didn't get anywhere. Jinx may have been able to be a house duck only but then only a solo duck and she couldn't be alone anywhere. HATED it! She could only hop on one leg a few times then have to lie down.
I had never had a problem with niacin deficiency before now. I don't know if it was bad time of year (Fall), old feed, poor nutrition in the moms, or poor genetics. We might hatch ducklings again next year.
