duckling Walking on Side of Foot

[ORPinGA]

Hello Everyone!I have a duckling that is a few days old that walks on the side of its foot. It doesnt really walk that well either. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

What breed is it? How long has it been showing these symptoms?

Hi and Welcome, this link may give you some ideas on how to help your duckling, it could be a number of things, it's a very long thread with lots of valuable info, so take your time and read, going pretty far down gives info on leg problems, I would start your duckling on some vitamins/ niacin also, get plain niacin, not time release or flush free, very inexpensive and put 100-150 mg in a gal of water then into their waterer. it is so good for duckling with leg issues. anyway please answer K's questions and read this info then post back your ideas of what you think you maybe dealing with. and also the breed of duckling. thanks....https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/
