Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?

It's so hard to know with ducks - they have so many medical issues. Before I got mine I read a book about chickens and ducks and it said ducks were so much more hardy - ha, I just don't believe it!
 
Hi there,
I also have two welsh duck sisters, and one of them has had issues since birth. It’s like safe dinosaur stomps when she walks, and sometimes limps. I’ve just been wondering lately if it’s the breed, maybe they are more susceptible to leg issues? I don’t know. I hate that they are having these issues! I hope yours is doing well.
Whenever she walks, are her feet wide apart like the duck in the video or are they crossing? Does she stand like the others? I think sometimes it just happens. The key is figuring out if it's treatable or if you just need to work on strengthing the ducks muscles. If it's been like this since hatch, it's definitely more difficult to say. How old is this duck now?
