Still dealing with wry neck.
I am having the same problem with one of my ducklings. I have been putting the Niacin in their water almost a week now and had them on Sav a Chic a week before that. Now they are on both. She improves for a bit then back slides. I notice her worse in the am. :-( It is frustrating and painful to... -

Okey, so normally I'm a stay at home mom and I check on and clean up after the ducklings several times a day. This week I am working for my mom and the waterer I was using wasn't large enough to last the ducklings all day long. After searching my mom's house I found a larger container but... -
HELP!!!
UPDATE: I just checked on the ducklings and "Thomas" (yes still a girl) is doing better in that she is standing up. Her neck is still NOT straight and she is not steady but her head is off the ground and "upright". Hopefully she continues to improve and doesn't regress again. Thank you all... -
HELP!!!
They are Pekins and almost 4 weeks old. No, I did not stop the vitamins because while we were seeing improvement she still wasn't "quite right". I got the niacin at 11 this am when the health food store finally opened. Walmart, Walgreens and Publix of course didn't carry just plain niacin. I... -
HELP!!!
Ok I will get the niacin in the morning. Thank you so much. Is there anything I can do to help her tonight and in the mean time. She seems so uncomfortable. :-( I am afraid separating her to a smaller environment (less falling) would only stress her and the others. :-( They don't like to... -
HELP!!!
My daughters and I got 3 ducklings at a local feed store a few weeks ago. I noticed some issues with my oldest daughter's duck - turning head, falling over etc. I was advised on here to start a vitamin suppliment which I did the next day. The duckling had been improving and I was finally... -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
Ok, I made my waterer. I love it! I also got the multi vitamin the next morning. I am seeing improvement in her duck. She is still not as "with it" add the other two but I am optomistic! Thank you all so much. -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
Lmao. Thank you! I can guess how you learned. I bet it was messy ;-) I will do that for the water but I didn't have enough room in the box for it and them >. < so I had to find a bigger box. I am feeding them non medicated chic starter. I will add the yeast as well. There is definitely... -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
Great to hear! I will get some vitamins tomorrow. Is is ok for the others or should I just find a way to give it to the one I am concerned about? -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
After watching her duck more I am thinking it could be blind in that eye? It is always tilting its head and always keeping the same eye toward the action. This often makes her look like she is going in circles. I have a feeling that she was kept in such tight quarters she wasn't able to move... -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
Thank you! I lurked this sight for over a week and thought I was good at least for a day or two before something scared me! LOL I will get something tomorrow and just do a shallow water dish and deal with the mess until I get a better system worked out or something big enough they can't pick... -
First hour and I am scared! LOL
Ok! So my girls and I just got our 3 Pekin ducklings this afternoon. I was NOT impressed with the feed store but I had two girls who had been looking forward to this all week and quite frankly I wanted to get as many animals off that property as possible. I wouldn't even call the place a feed... -
How old is too old to bond?
Okay yes I see that! I will show my husband and he can get to work. LMAO. -
How old is too old to bond?
Would that be enough to keep predators out? I may not be getting your full visual but that would just keep them from getting under the fence right? There is still the potential for something to dig? If I am seeing this correctly in my mind the end result would look like base board around the pen
