3 month old ducklings legs go rigid and lock. Please help.

Love the B complex too it's amazing what benefits come with using it. We've seen some pretty miraculous healing of leg issues.

This is what I used, in case anyone needs a visual:

I remember that we put Amy in the babies tank cos she was so clucky, and I think I saw her peck a duckling. My husband says the leg was like it before that but I don't think so. It's getting better so it might be just a bruise.

That would be awesome if it is just an injury that is healing. Keep us updated.

They grow so quickly. They're nearly already too big for the tanks. We usually put them in the big one till they can go out into the brooder but it's a sick bay atm. I'm going to have a production line once we move to the farm lol.

Sophia is a lot better. I could barely tell which duckling she was in the bath. She wasn't complaining, she was diving with all the rest. Winifred has picked up also. She has more control and doesn't wobble as much and she preens more.

Thats great news. Just keep up with the B3 it is so very important. What they don't use they pee out.

We will definitely do that. Once they are all ok, do we give them a dose once a week or every day?
Do We give it to the chickens too?

I still use Nutritional yeast with my flock about once a week I sprinkle it over top of their feed. So until your ducklings are 10-12 weeks old they should get it every day. After that if they aren't having issues and they are getting top-quality feed it's up to you if you want to continue with the B3. Just make sure all who were having trouble are completely over it.

A week old duckling has a stiff leg. She can bend it but doesn't. She complains loudly in the bath. The others were pecking at it so I put her with younger one's. I have just feeding all of them the B3 yesterday.

how are your ducklings doing Run Amock?
