Buff Duck Legs question

[nennings]

My girls are 3 weeks old. I have 2 questions
First...does the Durvet vit b compelx make anyone else gag or doe we have a bad batch? We have had no smell from our brooder (thanks to the pellet bedding suggestions!) But we got some of the b vit yesterday and man...my kitchen smells...their brooder smells..my hands smell of it. Maybe I'm overly sensitive I was so happy i had non smelly ducks after reading about how bad it would...this must be karma
The real question...I got the vit b because the biggest of the three seemed to plop down a bunch. I know its too early to tell a difference but i just wanted someone with knowledge to look if this look out of the ordinary to you? Now..she walks just fine..walked half an acre to get to this spot. But she seems to plop down to eat or as soon as she gets where she's going.

It does smell pretty bad!

She seems to be walking alright, although I can still see she is walking a bit pigeon-toed still and resting after only taking a few steps. Recovery will vary with birds, but most owners report significant progress only after a few days since yours are three weeks it's going to take longer than a bird that's only around a few days old.

Best pics i could get of her standing..one was mid stride. I keep reading about looking for swelling but to be honest I dont know what I am looking for because I have nothing to compare too.

Thank you! I thought we were safe because we got actual duck food then when I started to question I had to wait for it to come as its non essential. Wish i could have got a grasp on it sooner. She is kind of massive compared to the other 2 so I thought she maybe just grew too fast. I hope this does the trick!

Give it a few more days and I'm sure you will see some improvement!

It definitely smells bad lol, I don’t mind it, but if I’ve opened it/given it to my ducklings, and my boyfriend walks in the room, he just about gags. You’re not alone lol

Mine are 10 days old and I just noticed one of them just seemed to double in size overnight and is quite larger than the others that are same breed. She just started plopping a lot too but when she does walk she seems to walk just fine. Are they the same breed?
