Waldo is doing a lot better today I think, he’s stopped limping which makes me think either he’s just got a funny walk sometimes or he just stepped funny and had a stiff leg. He’s not sneezing as much as before but he’s still itching a bit, seems to be less though so that’s a good sign! He seems to be less boisterous than the others, but still eating and drinking fine so perhaps that’s just his personality. Is it normal for some ducklings to be a little shy? I’ve been sprinkling brewers yeast on their food and will continue to do so. Thanks for your help and interest!

Of course you will have shy outgoing and all in between,I have it here.

Great to hear about Waldo hopefully letting him bathe in warm water often it will help get all that itchy down washed away new feathers should start coming in real soon.

Be sure you use 1 Tab per cup of feed so they get the right amt of niacin daily.

Thanks! He did seem to have some white flaky bits around his beak the other day so maybe it’s just that. I hope the itching stops soon as it can’t be comfortable for the little thing! I’m now a bit worried about his walking as he seems to have a slight limp but no sign of injury! I’ve just ordered some brewers yeast as I figured it couldn’t hurt to strengthen his little legs a bit!

Really don't know if it's the number continued or something else. Try the first one by itself first. B12 supplement is called rooster booster. White bottle w bkack lid and gold hor mustard yellow coloring on label. Hope this works for you like it is for me. My disabled baby would hardly eat. He's thriving now. The big brother has always been great. Idk how to post a photo. Sorry
