I'm not sure, I'm not a duck expert but I know one of our ducks are I think bow legged (otherwise she walks on top of her feet). This is an example but her feet are on top of each other. She gets around fine too.

My 3-year-old duck has feet that overlap, and she gets along fine too. She didn't act anything like this particular duckling though.

Do you have a video? I might be able to attempt to figure it out. I'll do some research too.

This is just one foot that turns in. They don't overlap. When she drinks, she tips her head back too far and it is like her body freezes or stiffens up. I have a 3-year-old Pekin that has overlapping feet and I've had her since she was a day, or two old and she didn't act this way. I am checking on the duckling every couple hours and helping her to drink (might be a he, just calling it a her).
