I believe this is a Niacin deficiency. It happens in ducks and causes the crooked legs.

Good idea keeping ducks out of the pond till you get all the snappers out. They are big predators of water fowl. Have you tried making shoes for your duck? here is some good info about leg and feet problems.Trying to get enough niacin in the 2 pekings isn't solving the problem. 1 of them still has crooked feet, but she can get around. The other one does have a slipped tendon. I guess nothing can be done for her. She swims fine, but she can't walk very well. I'll try some of the suggestions of taping it and see how that turns out. In the mean time, I'm keeping them all out of the pond after turtle attack. I need to find a big snapper before I let them go near the water.
