    Niacin deficiency turned slipped tendon

    I havent been able to find a local vet that treats ducks but I've consulted online with one which was where my diagnosis came from. They are on Mazuri waterfowl floating feed and I add brewers yeast to their food as well. When I got him it was already probably past the point of fixing without...

I was given two pekin ducklings, one had a seizure and died two weeks ago, the other has a severe niacin deficiency that has turned into a slipped tendon of both his legs. He is able to get around but hes walking on his...

    Pekin duckling not walking?

    Thank you so so much for your insight! I'll get on that right away, I did order some food specifically for water fowl and I consulted with a vet who suggested alot of what you did. I appreciate your long and detailed answer, this is my first time owning ducks, I've only ever had chickens so this...

    Pekin duckling not walking?

    I have two 5-6 week old pekin ducklings. The one I assume is a male seems to be struggling to stand up and walk. I do put niacin in their feed and I give them a mixed flock food. Any ideas on why or what i could do to help?

    Sexing zombie chicks?

    Yeah im not entirely sure what the bloodline for the rooster looks like. And im not even sure what the mother was for a white hen. My friend bought two from the same lady hatched at the same time and neither of hers have black beaks either. There was only 8 hatched so seems unlikely (I guess not...

    That's all really helpful information thank you so much! I dont have much knowledge under my belt with chickens, I've only been doing this a year, and this is my first batch of chicks I hatched myself. It's actually really interesting to go through all the genetic traits that can affect so many...

    Light brahmas genders

    So it's very interesting my husband and I have been trying to figure out whose parents are whose because before I had to split my roosters up they had both mated with all my hens as they do. So at one point we had a barred rock rooster mating with brahma hens and black sexlink hens. At the same...

    Sexing zombie chicks?

    I just bought some zombie chicks locally straight run. Neither of them have black beaks, but ones is Grey, darker near it's head, and one is yellow. Opposite for their feet coloring. Everything I've read says yellow beak/yellow feet means male. But these dont seem to follow that pattern. Can...

    Light brahmas genders

    They are black sexlinks, one barred rock rooster and we also had a brahma rooster, which is interesting because I have a chickbarred rock feathering and feathered feet

    Light brahmas genders

    Thank you for that information! I wasnt sure if the sexlink gene followed through after breeding. One of my roosters was a barred rock and the hens are sexlinks, not sure if that matters at all. I do have one chick that is starting to get barred rock feathering. I'll be pretty bummed if that...
