    2 Month Pekin Duck Breathing Super Hard

    My 2 month old pekin duck is breathing extremely hard and looks like he’s panting. He has access to a pool of water and shade when outside but he seems to keep panting like he’s extremely hot. He just started doing this and my other Pekin duck (same age) seems to be just fine with no extreme...

    Questions on Duckling feed

    I have two Pekin ducklings about 3 weeks old. I have been using 20% protein duckling crumbles as feed but read about angel wing so what is the best feed for the ducklings with 16% protein? Where can I buy it?

    Bulge on Duckling??

    They do tend to pick at the hay. I can see if I can try to order it online. They don’t shake their head but rather they bob it slightly and they do breathe heavily sometimes.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    Some crushed up oats because they were eating so much food and I didn’t want them eating so much protein, but they have grit available.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    buldge doesn’t seem to move? It is hard, not squishy.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    I looked and called everywhere and every time TSC said they didn’t have any or were out so I’ve had to stick with the drops, but I have brewers yeast in case.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    The brooder is roughly 23 x16 but they will soon be moved to a bigger container because they are growing quickly. But we were giving them only a few drops a day. I feed them high protein duck starter crumbles and I have the heat lamp on too 24/7. They are both having significant balance issues...

    Bulge on Duckling??

    They are being kept inside in a brooder in my garage because we have had a cold front come in. I will attach a short video.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    Will the bump go away? I was recommended a B complex liquid for the stumbling but it seems to only be getting worse. I am out picking up brewers yeast to see if that can help.

    Bulge on Duckling??

    I have two almost 2-week old ducklings and they are stumbling and having balance issues, and one now has a buldge on his neck/shoulder area. Is this over eating?

    Stumbling Duckling!

    I can go first thing in the morning to see if TSC has it, was I just not giving enough niacin?

    Should I switch to brewers yeast?

    Stumbling Duckling!

    We were using a liquid B complex by Nature’s Bounty, only a couple drops throughout the day because we only have two ducklings

    Stumbling Duckling!

    Sorry for the bad video, but yes it seems their legs are slightly bowed out (not much). We were recommended a B complex, which includes niacin from a family friend who used it for a similar problem.

    Stumbling Duckling!

    Okay I’ll attach a short video. It’s kind of hard to see because they both are tending to just sit :(
