Duck laying on peafowl eggs

Your little ones was walking much better. Maybe not having the other going after the toes helped. I like those purple toes. lol

Haha I know right! She totally rocks them.

Easy to to know which one is which with one having purple toes.

She seems to be doing well now

Looks like the sibling is leaving toes alone too.
She is walking so much better.

I would say right now it seems like Ava's legs are working and she is doing well, but she is still a little bit more weak on her feet than her brother. When she flies down from somewhere she can have a hard time properly catching herself. Also, she is still losing weight which is really concerning me. What could I do if she keeps losing weight? I offered a small variety of food today along with grit, I just gave some blueberries and mealworms. I am using mazuri gamebird starter, should that be okay for them? Would purina gamebird starter be better? Those are the only 2 options for gamebird feed available near me. She still is active and moving and jumping and she's very snuggly, but she is still losing weight so I am becoming more and more concerned.

WE need @DukesDucks I know nothing about caring for pea chicks. Can you give them niacin like we do for our ducklings when they have weak legs?

Okay I've added some yeast to the food for now because I don't have any b complex but tomorrow i will go to tractor supply and get some. Should I give it via injection or through mouth? Earlier today she was much more active than she is now. Now she isn't really walking around at all.

She seemed to be quickly deteriorating and me and my girlfriend did not think she would make it through the night so we gave her some medicated chick feed via a syringe, and she is perking up more now. Still quite wobbly but she is doing a bit better.

 

[Miss Lydia]

How is Ava this morning? if it's okay to give Ava B complex give it by mouth and in their drinking water. But make sure they can have it first. Ask on the link I gave you. And please be careful to never shoot anything down the throat. You don't want her to aspirate.
