    Shakey legs

    I've got 3 5 weeks old ducklings. One of the ducklings has shakey legs, lays down when feeding and sometimes walks on nooks. Heard alot about niacin Deficiency. We added brewers yeast to their food and been giving peas for treats, but she still seems super shakey. Been looking up the liquid...

    Hello

    Hello. My name is Helen and I'm currently incubating 3 duck eggs. I'm on day 29 and panicking about no pipping and movement. How long should I give them before calling it a failure. Happy for lots of advice.
