Duck limping no sign of cuts or heat but getting progressively worse

[Emilyamon]

One of my pekin ducks has been limping. I suspect it is from being bullied a bit by the drake as it's spring and he is definitely mating all our 8 hens, however she is the only one that is limping and having trouble with her mobility. She is sitting most of the day or hobbling around trying to keep up with the flock so I have put her in the duck house solo during the day with water and food and am trying to encourage her to rest. It's been about 5 days and I'm not seeing improvement yet - I think it's a soft tissue issue so I'm really not sure what else I can do for her. Any ideas? She is still eating and seems relatively calm (of course doesn't love being separate or being picked up).

Does she get niacin supplements?

Does she get niacin supplements?

not since they were ducklings

Pekins are one of those breeds that need niacin supplements their whole life. I'd start that again.
