I agree, it looks like one definitely has some pigeon-toed feet going on, most of the information you need is in this thread, I suggest you read the whole thing.

I just went to the local feed store. They sold me vitamin b12 for poultry and more brewers yeast. Its not the same as the duvet that was talked about. So I am not sure how much to give. But will give it a go.

You don’t want B12 only that isn’t going to help with a B3 deficiency take it back and insist on the Durvet Liquid B

Yeah I had to call it in. As the social distancing thing they won't let you go in. I told them the product I wanted and what I needed it for. Apparently she had no clue. And I drove home before looking at it as they put it in the back of my car. But they close in 10 mins and it takes me 20 mins to get there and they are closed till tuesday. I will have to check and see if tractor supply has any in stock tomorrow. Everything here closes early. Anyways I just added a bit of water and brewers yeast in a bowl with meal worms and removed that duck and let him or her eat it alone. Then I will try finding some tomorrow morning.

That’s fine it’s most likely in the cattle section. Look it up on their website and show them what you want. TSC employees don’t usually know much either.
