Help!!! My duck won't stand on her own

[Tjbaby88]

I am hoping someone can help me. I have 2 two month old Peking ducks and I feel my baby girl won't make it. She is still eating and drinking but she can't seem to stand on her own. She just flops over. I checked her feet for bumblefoot and everything else but there is nothing. Someone please help me.

What are you feeding? Are you supplementing with brewers yeast or Niacin tablets? Ducklings need more Niacin than chicks, and especially Pekins seem to have a higher need... so Niacin deficiency is my first guess...

I am feeding them corn, peas, grapes, rice, oats, lots of water and yes they are getting niacin. I uped the dose a little bit last night.

How much Niacin are you giving? It should be no less than 125mg per gal of drinking water if it is tablets (crushed and dissolved into drinking water)...

Are you feeding any formulated feed? A proper balanced diet goes a long way...

No poultry feed?
