Hi all!
I have some runner ducklings that are just over one month old. I’ve been feeding them waterfowl starter sprinkled lightly with old fashioned oats and chick grit. Plus a little lettuce for treats. They always have water. They do not have access to a yard though. About 10 days ago I noticed that some of the ducklings were developing shaky legs. I read everything I could find and have been supplementing their diet with nutritional yeast, sprinkled mealworms, a little premium alfalfa (vet recommended), and as of yesterday, some green peas. The trembling has improved in most birds, but two are still bad and several have sporadic shaking. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there some other vitamin / mineral that they could be short on?
