Help! My 3 week old duckling is struggling!

I don’t think the only other duck is bullying this one? @jenna elizabeth

Ducklings should only be separated from the others only if they are pecking her or not allowing her to drink/eat properly, unnecessary separation will only cause stress on the duckling.If the do need to be separated they should be with a clear divider or a wire frame so they can see and hear each other.

That's what we did. We used the remaining hardware cloth and created a frame. We have one of the giant $100 containers from TS so the duckling had a 1/4 of the container.

No it’s not

Is this safe for ducks?

You can crush and put over their feed. But honestly the liquid B complex is the best for niacin deficiency. If that is what it is. How much niacin in a tablet?

Update! 4 days ago I made her a sling so she wouldn’t flip over all day, and she could get strength in her legs! And oh my goodness it was the best decision! She’s able to walk on her own again! Still stumbling a bit but definitely able to get up and get to her food and water!

Yes I am! How long do you recommend I give it to her? I’ve also been giving her some brewers yeast!
