Goose with leg issues

[am145999]

Hi guys I have a gosling with leg issues. I know the general treatment is B3 which I have been doing for about a week now. I am seeing an improvement but he’s still unsteady while he’s standing. He can walk but gets tired easily. Right now I put two 500mg niacin capsules in the water and I give him a half capsule down the throat,gets let outside for an hour twice a day to forage,when brought in u give a big pile of weeds and grass for them to forage,also been supplementing with fresh veggies as well as floating fresh mint in the water so they eat instead of play in it. Is there anything else I should do or just give him more time? Photo of the guy up front.

Let me just clarify, they are only out an hour a two each day? What kind of area are they in when they're not outside? An insufficient amount of sunlight can cause Rickets in some geese.

No they get out 2 hours free range one in the morning one in the evening when it’s cool. The rest of the time they have access to go in or out of a fenced in area. It’s been so hot lately though they stay in mostly. When they stay in it’s in my garage but they do have outside access.

They are being fed a waterfowl feed from my local feed store 16% protein niacin 45mg/lb

Could you take a video of them walking, upload it to a video platform like Youtube or Vimeo, then copy/paste the link here?

Yep here you go. First clip is what happens when it stands/walks awhile usually it ends up laying down. The other two are it walking. It’s the one with slight angel wing I was gonna wrap but it usually uses them to balance and I was more concerned about the leg. The other gosling nor my ducklings have any issues.
