my fiance and I bought these ducklings from tractor supply yesterday and I'm worried that they night have sprawled feet or a niacin deficiency. There legs sprawl out behind them sometimes and they sit on then curled up quite a bit. I know online it says to put bedding or a towel under them to prevent sprawling issues so I'll definitely be doing that but I'm wondering if they need to be treated.
we're currently giving them hydro hen and purina duck pellets. the hydro hen doesn't have any niacin in it but the duck pellets have 27.22 mg/ib and it's a 5 pound bag. Do they need brewers yeast? Little splint like devices for sprawled legs? Or are they perfectly fine little ducklings?
Its my first time owning any kind of bird and I love them very much. I like to sit down and spend time with them. They're very cute and maybe I'm worrying for no reason I just don't know a lot about ducks and most answers I've found on this site so I definitely wanted to join!
