Balled duckling feet!! Help

[Camtheduckguy]

My duckling hatched in the wrong end. Now it’s feet are balled. It can’t walk good. I know you can use nutrition vitamin B. Also you can tape it’s feet. What do I do? Help?!?

Welcome to BYC!
When mine hatch like this i give them 24 hours after hatching and fluffing up to see if they will un-curl on their own. If they don't un-curl after 24 hours, I tape them.

Correct the position of feet after 24 hours with cut popsicle sticks and tape. By the time the tape falls off, check the feet to see if a new application of tape-foot-splint is needed. Repeat until feet are 'normal'

Try giving him different feed.

If you can't get water fowl starter, get some Liquid B complex and start giving that to your little one. You can get it at TSC in the cattle dept it will say injectable but is given orally to our birds 1ml daily or human Liquid B complex which isn't as concentrated so it will be 3ml daily you can give it by dropper slowly into the bill [never shoot down the throat] or put it over feed [small amount of feed so you are absolutely sure the duckling gets full dose] Chick starter hasn't the niacin that water fowl babies need and when they are already showing issues it's best to use the liquid B complex get faster results.
