Drake with possible angel wing and hurt legs

That sounds like a vitamin def. Are you using niacin in their feed still I use nutritional yeast it has more niacin and is easy to use you just sprinkle over top of feed. 1 Tab per cup of feed.

It still could be something else going on could the other drakes have kept him from eating?

I only added brewers yeast for added niacin when they were younger (0-8 weeks) and he's 14 weeks old, is that not too old for a deficiency? And no, I highly doubt they've been keeping him from eating, I have multiple bowls out there for them to prevent fighting over food

I feel like I'll have to put him down in a day or two, he seems miserable. Im pretty sure he's stopped eating too. I'm so confused I don't even know what's wrong, how did he go from perfectly fine to this overnight? I will keep doing vitamins and trying to give him brewers yeast

Give him over the weekend either this is a nutritional problem or an injury
I still give my birds nutritional yeast if one comes up with a limp.

Could it be botulism or caused from Ticks...?

He seems to be doing better today, last night I was able to get him to eat a little bit of food with yeast in it and he ate a good amount this morning. He has been getting up and walking every once and while but when he does he's a little off balence, but he is improving. He wasn't eating before because he didn't like the bowl I put the food in, I switched bowls and he started eating, lol. Sorry it took so long to reply, I've been trying to get on all morning but it kept saying the website was down

I don't think so, his legs seem to be the only issue, no other symptoms that I can see.

Possible Vitamin E deficiency ?...Selenium ?

Possibly, what could I give him for that?

Selenium or Vitamin E....Its a deficiency in lots of solis so needs to be provided.... Hmmm?....I know you can get it in powder form but not sure of the exact amounts ?....Contact a livestock vet on the percentage needed...
