I have a baby duck probably pekin or Aylesbury coming through she has started to have issues with her feet crossing..
I give them duck food, so hopefully it is not niacin issues, I have split her and three others off from the original 12 as the other 11 were ousting her, the smaller number has resulted in a more friendly environment,
I only noticed the issue this morning and her legs was stuck down the side of the brooder she was led on and I hoped she had pins and needles or dead leg or she had been squeezed and the problem would ease off I gave held her and tried to encourage her to hold the leg properly, but she reverts to leaning one leg in badly, she was very thirsty and somewhat hungry perhaps a by product if the leg issue was not new and she had trouble getting to food and I had not noticed, they all hop onto the incubator to sleep, sit, and until today she was hopping up, could she have injured it and it might heal,would splitting. Ex in appropriate. For a couple of days to be sure it does not self heal, could the food I bought as duck crumbs not. E ducks crumbs,I have changed them to adult duck food and milled it down...
any suggestions would be gratefully received.
