duck hunched, raspy voice, and wet feather?

Poor little one, It does sound like classic Niacin deficiency, but of course, it could always be something else. Just know that it's not an uncommon ailment in Pekins and other large breed ducks. But Pekins being meat birds besides being beloved pets were bred to grow fast so they are ready for slaughter at 12weeks of less, so their poor legs have a hard time keeping up with the growth.
I'd keep up with the B complex and hopefully, you'll really start seeing improvement. We have to remember being like this for a month makes it harder for the body to bounce right back but it can. Just give him time.
thank you. I feel like ive already seen improvement with her/his voice, and the neck is more out often. I feel so bad for the duck when it tries to walk, it looks painful.
ill keep up with the b complex, and hopefully ill have great news soon :)
