yes over weight ducks can have leg problems too. But most of the time when this young it is a nutrient deficiency. I don't see how the ducks could be over weight on the diet it is being fed.
Leg problem

Depends on how bad his legs are. I have seen Pekins pretty bowlegged still getting around good but the Brewers yeast or niacin which ever you decide should help and feeding him a proper diet will help too. I hope you'll post some pics. We have a member here who has a duck that's legs are not the best. but that duck gets around great.
Lets see if @PotatoWaffles is on tonight.

I just bought brewers yeast tablets (couldnt find powder) each pill contains 300mg , so whats the daily dosage and should I sprinkle on food or mix it with water?
125mgs in a gallon of water so break the pill in half and crush mix with feed or put into their water if you put it into their water you'll probably have to stir it often or it will probably end up on the bottom of the container.
