Too late to fix?

[Fallenone05]

I purchased some silver appleyard ducks about a month ago. Both hens. One has the correct foot/leg development but the other has a really, really inward pointing foot. She has a healthy appetite and gets around decent. I've been feeding them this

But I wonder if it's too late to fix. The man I got them from said they're a little over a year old. They seem healthy other than their foot issue, and they're molting pretty hard right now.

I would add nutritional yeast 1 Tbsp per cup of feed and also give 1 ml per day for a couple weeks of this to the one who needs it (it says injectible for cattle but we give it to ducks orally put 1 ml on some treats like peas make sure she gets it all

But will it correct at her age? She's over a year old and came to me like this.

It may not correct it but it might keep it from getting any worse. So def worth trying. I'd keep her on it for about a month since she is older. Check back often and let us know how she is doing

The feed I use has brewers yeast and a niacin supplement. Should I do both the additive nutritional yeast or just the B Complex liquid to the affected hen?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Give the liquid B complex just to the affected one. keep up with the other supplements but be sure the brewer's yeast has B3 some don't and that the niacin isn't time released or flush free.
