6 day old duckling can't stand or walk. Help please.

[Lynn Manes]

Hello old friends. It's been a very long time since I've posted on BYC, but if I need answers I still read the forums.
We incubated 9 duck eggs fir the first time, and so far we have 6 beautiful WH babies 6 days old. This morning I found one duckling who can't stand or walk on her own. I took her from the brooder and examined her legs. They seem to just be limp and splayed out a little. I held her to the waterer and she drank well, put her by the feed and she took a bite, then back to the waterer for one more tiny sip. Still she's not able to walk, but wants to be with the rest of the babies. We put them on chick starter. It's all that's available here fif chickens and ducks. What else can I do to help her?

Where in California do you live?

If you still live in Bakersfield you should be able to get some Purina Flock Raiser. That will be better for your ducklings.

Flock raiser and B Complex liquid we have seen great results this year with the B complex. If you get human go with 2ml a day if you go to TSC to get it look in the cattle dept and buy injectable but give orally it is more concentrated so only 1 ml daily should notice a difference pretty quick. Try this for a week. Then cut back to just a few times a week after 100% improvement. All ducklings can have this.
