    6 week old chick can’t walk—wobbles and sits on hocks

    I should add that I don't know if this works for chicks/chickens. Seems like a common duck issue.

    6 week old chick can’t walk—wobbles and sits on hocks

    I was open to trying anything because they were not improving and seemingly wasting away. It started with one baby then two and they looked like they were dying. I tried syringing water and electrolytes because they would not take food or water. I read that syringing them was not good. At first...

    Please help! Baby chick can’t walk

    I hope your chick made it. I had a couple baby ducks that stopped walking and it turns out they had a niacin deficiency so I got niacin supplement capsules and put the powder from the capsule in the drinking water and some grains and after a few days they got their strength back and was able to...

    Six week old muscovy duck suddenly cannot walk or stand. This happened 2 days ago. Now a second one has come down with the same ailment. Help!

    Update: I released the first one back to her family today. Most of the 11 were pecking at her. I was worried they were trying to hurt her. But after a few minutes and a lot of chatter/chirping, they all settled down and became one happy family again. The second one is still lethargic. He is...

    Six week old muscovy duck suddenly cannot walk or stand. This happened 2 days ago. Now a second one has come down with the same ailment. Help!

    Thank you. My chicken free ranges and she rarely eats the food I give to her. She'll peck at it a bit then walk away. If I top the scratch grain with the mealworms she'll eat a bit more. But usually not a whole lot. I'll definitely get her all flock. My driveway is shell rock. I wonder if she's...

    Thank you for your input. I guess it's niacin! What do you recommend for the chicken? She free ranges. I give her cracked purple corn, scratch grain and mealworms. What else should I give her? She doesn't like the layer pellets and randomly lays eggs. She's 6 years old and is really just a pet...

    I wasn't giving them any supplements. When they showed up at my house late April/early May, I would just give them what I fed my chicken which was typical chicken 5 grain from TSC. I saw that a niacin deficiency could be the reason. I went to the store and picked up niacin 500mg capsules...
