Does anyone have a duck wheel chair for a duck or chicken I could get to help rehabilitate my young duck with crooked feet?

Posting some pictures would help a lot with making suggestions. You might not need a wheelchair at all.

was he born like this or did this develop over time?

Born a little crossed. Added Niacin and are still giving it.

sometimes ducks born with disabilities can get along just fine. as long as it doesn't cause him pain, I don't think you'll need a wheelchair. try giving him electrolytes daily to make him stronger. sav-A-chick electrolyte packets mix into water, and help a lot if given daily for a few weeks.

you can always look up PVC pipe wheelchair designs online if needed.

I was, just figured I'd see if anyone had one that they didn't need anymore before creating more waste than needed.

I'll try that as well. Was just thinking, if we took the weight off for a little while it might help. When he walks now, he sometimes walks on the top of the foot line dragging knuckles.
