Could well be a B vitamin deficiency.

You could add 150 mg of plain niacin to each gallon of drinking water for 8 weeks, or you could add a tablespoon of brewer's yeast to her food each day. How many ducklings do you have? You may need to add more, if there are several of them eating out of that bowl.

Only two.and the second one is fine.,that's what has me worried.

From what I have seen on the forum, sometimes just one or two ducklings will be affected. Apparently some of them just need more niacin or other B vitamins.

And I have never heard of the other unaffected ducklings having problems with the supplements.

 

[SpiderSilk]

OK so where do I get such supplements?

 

[Amiga]

Sometimes large grocery stores have a pharmacy section, there are local drugstores, chain drugstores, online, health food stores.

Ok so.I need food grade. Sounds simple enough thank you!
