Howdy y'all.
we've got a little duckling with what looks to be a bowed leg.
he sits around most of the day, unlike his energetic siblings.
He swims fine and can walk small distances before sitting back down.
will this be more of a problem later on? and what can we do about it?
here is a picture, His name is Dudley.

Oh, Dudley is gorgeous!

He may need to have braces, and likely need some extra B vitamins.

Is their brooder kind of smooth on the bottom? That can cause spraddle leg (legs starting to stick outward instead of under their bodies.

Treated early, there is high success rate.
