Broody pekin
Hey everyone, so I just have a few ducks and one of my females has gone broody and is very committed to laying on her eggs. Unfortunately, I don’t want babies right now so, unbeknownst to my duck, she is laying on some golf balls. I just wanted to know if it’s better to give her nothing to lay... -

Niacin Deficiency Recovery
Hello all, I have a Pekin duck (about 10 weeks) who has been struggling with a niacin deficiency for a while. I had tried liquid B complex and brewers yeast and there was no improvement. Her legs remained very swollen, they were boeing, becoming pigeon toed and she was having a lot of trouble... -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
An update: I kept her mostly off her feet for about a week with B complex in her water and BY in her food. I gave her warm baths so she could float at least once a day, but they did not last long because she does not like when she can't touch the ground. I even tried putting her in a sling for... -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
The zip tie wasn’t tight but I took it off before I moved her into the garage in case her legs swell more. Her legs are pretty warm but I don’t know if it’s just from her laying on them all the time. -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
I attached some before but here are some more. I don’t see any opened sores on her feet but her legs are VERY swollen. I started giving her B Complex yesterday. -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
Thank you guys for the advice on the food. I’ll try my best to get duck feed but if not I’ll get flock raiser on Wednesday. The duck, Poe, is not standing up much anymore and I moved her into a box in the garage to monitor her. Her feathers are all messy and her stomach is bald. I included pictures. -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
I just started trying to give her the b complex yesterday. She wouldn’t really take any but today I just mixed some in a water dish so she would drink some. I will try to mix the 3ml in a snack so I can make sure she gets it. I can switch them to flock raiser on Wednesday or Thursday. Would... -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
Here are the pictures of her feet/leg. Also, she weighs like 6.6 pounds. (The zip tie is not at all tight on her ankle, it just looks like that in the pictures). -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
Thank you guys for responding. Ive attached a picture of their house which they’re only in at night. During the day they’re free range in my yard which has a large pond. When I went to take a picture of her feet, I realized that her legs are very swollen. She doesn’t have any scabs on her feet... -

Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!
I have 5 Pekin Ducks that are around 7 weeks old. For awhile one of them has had a little limp but she’s been fine. Then about 3 days ago her legs started getting worse and now today she can hardly walk. I’ve made sure to add niacin to their food and b complex to their water. I also checked her... -

What breed is this duckling?
My biggest one walks a little funky when he’s trying to run but other than that they all seems pretty good. The two biggest were breathing pretty heavy for like a week but that seems to have passed. I used poultry respiratory care on them for a while. The call duck is pretty much fully feathered... -

What breed is this duckling?
The Pekin ducklings have now outgrown her after 2 weeks. She has most of her feathers except on her wings and head. She hasn’t grown in size much since we got the other ducklings. This is her now. -

What breed is this duckling?
I bought “call duck eggs” off of eBay and currently have one of the ducklings from that hatch. She is almost a month old and since about the first week I’ve been questioning if she’s really a call. The person I bought them from claimed he only had call ducks but my duckling is currently huge... -

Tiny call duckling
I'm very sad to say that the duckling, Dumpling, just died in my arms. She went downhill very fast today and I knew she wasn't going to make it much longer. She was definitely suffering right before she passed (thrashing, unable to hold her head up, throwing her head backwards) so I'm glad she's... -

Tiny call duckling
Yesterday she was eating and drinking, but I can't get her to eat or drink right now. I've tried using a syringe to get water into her mouth, but she immediately spits it all out. I got the human B complex and tried givng her it with the dropper but she also spit that out.
