Help...Pekins still having leg problems

[dpingtrich352]

Are you giving the b vitamins orally, as in down the throat?

I am putting it with their food and feeding the ones that can’t walk by themselves to make sure they get it. I’ve also have soaked their mealworms in it as well. But he gives it them orally.

Flock raiser has 50 or 55ppm of niacin (right now my brain isn't ecalling the exact amount without checking) so, it would be beneficial to your ducks with the added b supplements and niacin. Pekins are heavy birds so need more niacin to support their weight. Flock raiser can be used with all poultry too. So, that is a bonus.

I will go get some of that this evening. I am just at a loss right now. I absolutely hate seeing them like this.

I hope it helps. Let us know how they are doing. It can take a few days. I am going to tag someone with pekins (I think) either way she has knowledge of leg issues and the supplements.

I really think you need to give it orally, not in their food or water.

If you are suggesting they put the liquid B complex down the throat @casportpony please show how to do it.

That is what I am suggesting.

@dpingtrich352 , do you have a 1 ml syringe?

I do!

 

[casportpony]

I do!

How comfortable would you be doing this?

 

[casportpony]

I can do a picture that shows where to put the syringe in the duck mouth.
