thank you I will try that and hopefully he shows improvement

Jumbos really can have leg issues even more so than just the reg Pekins because of their size and weight. I'd still try the Liquid B Complex. It sure can't hurt

Please keep us updated. Oh on the liquid b complex it will say injectable but we use it orally.

this is a video I have of him walking I think he might have arthritis but not sure how to know. this is him walking good any faster he starts to almost fall. I give him niacin pretty much everyday, but doesnt seem to help much. Hopefully the video helps any ideas are helpful.

Have you tried the Liquid B complex?

No I havent got it yet but not sure what kind exactly if there is a certain brand that workds better than others

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/ this will give info plus the different brands of liquid B complex.
TSC usually carries Durvet many of us have used it with good sucess.

At his age, he may not get 100% but the Liquid B complex is sure worth trying since it isn't expensive and has helped so many.

He seems maybe to be doing better but its winter and with the snow they arent moving around as much so Its harder to get them to eat. I am unsure if he is getting all his medicine, but he is at a healthy weight. I will continue to update Thank You everyone for the help I think the Liquid B Definity made an improvement

 

[Miss Lydia]

Great to hear your seeing improvement

Hey everyone this may be a dumb question but does anyone know if ducks can eat leaves. their pen is by a tree and they always try to eat the leaves I assume its okay since its natural but part of me wonders. I tried looking it up but it was hard to find any answers. thank you everyone
