Hi guys I'm new to the bird world. I got 3 ducks to go with my chicks. The two ducks are fine but one I am suspicious of a niacin deficiency. It cant get up or walk and his poor little webbed toes are bowing. I think I didn't catch on sooner because it can still scoot around the pen. I've had him for about a month. I had him separated the second I figure out it couldnt walk. I've been adding niacin to his water for 2 days now, he is very lively just cant get up. Is there anything morei can do to strengthen his legs? Hold him in a warm bath so he can try like physical therapy? Please let me know, I dont want this little duck to go.
 
I would head to Tractor Supply or another feed store and pick up injectable Vitamin B Complex. Don't worry, you're not going to inject it, that's just the form it comes in. You'll need a syringe and needle to get it out of the bottle, though.

Give the duckling 1 ml of this each day over treats such as peas or mealworms or whatever he will eat.

This is the stuff:
