My ducks name is KiKi. I got Kiki 3 days ago and kiki is about 1-2 weeks old. The breed is a Pekin. The foot became limp yesterday and my duck can’t put any pressure on that foot. When my duck walks she holds the foot up and only walks on one foot. I began giving her niacin the day before this leg situation happened because I read that ducks can get niacin deficiencies easily so I wanted to try to prevent that from happening. I posted 2 pictures showing how when she walks she doesn’t put the other leg down and it just stays up to her chest/belly. I also posted a picture showing the leg up close. But you can see that the webbing on the bad leg/foot isn’t spread out like it should be. I hope you guys can help me and Kiki out!

Hi there, sorry no one was able to respond, how is your duckling doing? Very rarely do niacin
deficiencies appear with a limp, I think this may be an injury.
