    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    im trying to see if the tendon has slipped but i don't notice anything... It honestly looks like the leg is out of socket or something because where the skin ends and feathers start it is jutting out and not tucked in like the other leg. I've been making sure he gets some Brewers yeast while I...

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    I'm so sorry to hear that.. Mine is about 3 weeks and I don't know how to correct the tendon. I've been periodically giving him breweries yeast in food and water and he drinks/ eats it but doesn't get better... Is he in pain? I've been thinking if he isn't hurting then I'll just let him do his...

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    Hi as you can see I'm having the same problem... How old is your duck? A lot of this stuff is extremely similar to my situation. Any other suggestions? I hope your duck will get better so he doesn't have to suffer:( im in the same boat and am not sure what is best for him at this point.

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

I Also gave him a mixture of the Brewers yeast for him to drink and he's quite a bit more active, but his leg is still in a limping state and his neck is still pretty droopy.. I'm supposed to move them to the barn this week but I don't think...

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    Tonight I will split them up two and two and see how he does... When i take him out he can still walk but will sit with his one leg out majority of the time. I agree it's the nervous system since his neck is getting droopy...I'll try the bath tonight. I've been giving him Brewers yeast but there...

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    Would it help to do the hobble treatments for spraddled legs? He's almost 3 weeks old, is it too late to do that? And would separating him from the others be at all helpful for him?

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    Thank you so much! Is this link applicable for ducks? I'm just curious since it specifically says chicks. My duckling also positions his neck to the side and brings his head to his body while walking. It may sounds normal but the position is strange... I feel so bad for him!

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem
