every day it's something new....

I don't know about Pekins in particular but it does look like it's having a hard time walking. Keep up with the niacin and it should correct itself. Lots of swim time in warm water will help too. That way it can build muscle without having to put any weight on the legs.

@CayugaJana told me about the B complexe to give them. 2 ml with some crushed mealworms. Mine love it!!! And it really help strengthen my 8 week old Pekin. Seen progress with walking in less then a week. Here is what you can get at stores like Walmart Walgreens and do on

Yes. I seen a couple of my Pekin ducklings yesterday walking around and their legs looked shaky and they were sitting a lot. So I’ve been giving them each 100 mgs of liquid niacin everyday. I mix it with mealworms and they gobble it up in 30 seconds.

I think they had been eating the calf starter pellets I had out for my calves and weren’t eating their normal food for several days is my guess. And with them growing so fast it doesn’t take long.
