Ducklings Feet overlap

I agree,with what @Miss Lydia has told you.Turing there feet inward like that can mean she is lacking vitamin b and since she is a Pekin it makes it a lot more likely. If not treated soon it can become permanent.

I recently had to cull a Old Pekin with "Pigeon Toed Feet" she had no response to the vitamin B i gave her since she lived with it so long.A duck around 4 weeks should be getting around 10 milligrams of niacin a day.Its hard overdose so don't worry to much about being exact.

Best of Luck!

Thank you, yeah I’ve just invested in some of that gel so I’ll just pump them full of it

I wouldn't necessarily pump them full of it. I wasn't able to read the niacin content on the list but when you can see it tell us. This isn't a one time thing you want to give it too them for a while till you see marked improvement then taper off and the nutritional yeast you may want to use for ever since it won't hurt them and can keep them strong.

If your worried I’d get the b complex liquid from TSC it’s liquid gold for our water fowl. 1 ml daily over the peas you give will help them have strong legs and help keep them from bowing or weakening. This particular b complex is in the cattle dept and will say injectable but just peel the foil and use a dropper to pull out the 1 ml. What niacin are you using and only problem with putting anything in their water is it’s diluted then and they waste so much of it so you have no idea how much they are really getting . And Pekins are notorious for leg issues. Read on Metzers web site about niacin deficiency in ducks.

I followed this advice and it made all of the difference! I had to use it on my little pekins, particularly one that had a major foot issue. She is completely normal now.
