Baby Duck Hurt!!!

[jldanford99]

I've been hatching duck eggs for the past month and they have all been hatching out in last week and the beginning of this week! Our last baby duck was hatched Monday! (S)he was doing perfectly fine until this morning (Tuesday) and now (s)he can't walk on one foot! It's like (s)he can't move it at all! What should I do? Please help

Does she look like there is any injury? swelling? do you know how spradle legs looks? If it looks like it could be that, using a bandaid as a brace between the legs works well. If you have Holderreads book it has a picture. Sorry I can't be more help, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in soon

She may have injured herself, but just in case it's low niacin I would start her on 100 to 150 mg niacin per gallon of drinking water per Holderread.

She hasn't been dropped or shoved around, perhaps?
