2 month old male muscovys legs keep slipping

I agree with the others
Niacin issues
Start with the b complex right away
And adding nutritional or brewers yeast to the feed will not hurt the other ducks but help to prevent any of them having niacin issues
1tbs to 1 cup feed for first 10-12 weeks
Then I add it to their feed a few times a week sprinkling on top

Ordered both . Should be here tomorrow. Thank you to everyone hopefully tomorrow isn't to late .

That should be good. Hopefully you can help turn it around. So sad they were abandoned, but so sweet of you to take care of the poor babies! BTW, the vet wrap is the same as human first aid stretchy tape - it's a fabric that sticks to itself, so if you needed to run to the drug store and get it you could probably find it right away. Thanks for caring for this little one!

Did you read my reply and look at the pictures? You want to make a little band around each leg then have someone support the duck in standing position and use a big loop around both legs to pull them into proper position and hold them that way. See the photos I attached above, and also the video where my duck was walking with the hobbles after being in them and having the vitamin B complex for a few weeks.

OK so looks like you made it where they could still walk buy it gave them more support. I can do that I'll have to have my son help me . Just incase . This duck is really calm so I shouldn't have any issue wrapping the feet and Legs . I'm going to watch your video now. . Thanks

So you just loop it once or did you loop around each leg then around.

This will also give you a visual of how to hobble

A little band around the individual leg so the big band adheres to those, and itself when you wrap that around. Not too tight, just tight enough to hold the legs in the proper alignment.

I'll definitely try this today . I feel bad having to possibly separate him from family hopefully he will be OK
