Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and I registered to be able to ask this question. I have saved 5 ducks from a horrible house where they weren’t fed properly and just left to roam around to eat grass. I believe they grew with a niacin deficit. They sit around all day and can’t stand on their legs for more than 2 minutes maybe. However, they eat well, they drink a lot, they are clean and they can preen themselves perfectly and each other. They can jump in the little pool and come out but… they just always sit around. I also sometimes find them sitting in awkward positions (see attached picture). I am feeding them proper feed now. I am supplementing with B3 but… I believe they are at least 8 weeks old, they are big and they are growing but they don’t quack yet, just that baby duck sounds still…
Can anyone confirm if ducks sit around a lot or does anyone know if the legs can get better or it might be too late?
Thank you so much
