ducks ducks everywhere

[Hunter88]

hello this is only my second year to have ducks and geese. recently all my female ducks started setting on nests I have 3 fawn runners and a mallard all females with one drake mallard they all started hatching and we have around 10 at the moment more on the way the I know what the mallards are going to look like can anyone tell me what the runner mallard mixes will look like as adults.

P.S. what can I do about them being born with scrunched feet we have only had one born that way

Scrunched feet is probably a B vitamin deficiency. You can put brewer's yeast (not baking yeast) in their food to help with that, or you can add plain niacin (not no-flush or timed release) to their water at 100 to 150 mg niacin per gallon of drinking water.

Keep up the supplements for a couple of months. It ought not to hurt the others, may even be helpful for them also.

Some members use a B complex vitamin, and I would use the B3 (niacin) as a guide, same as above, 100 to 150 mg per gallon of water.

thank you very much for the info sadly when I woke up today he was not alive. I think he had other issues other than his feet that I could not see
