Help with Khaki eggs!

Thanks for your help.
We've got two babies in the incubator who have started to hatch and two who have just finished coming out of their shells

Hey Hennible - sorry to keep bugging you first time Mum here though!
One of the ducklings is having trouble walking - won't extend / keeps his leg tucked up next to his wing.
It was like this when he hatched, and he is otherwise fine - is this the 'limb falling asleep' inside the egg or something more serious?
Should I be getting some Niacin tablets??

You can also use brewers yeast for a vitamin B supplement, but I'm no duckling expert post in the main duck thread or in emergencies.... And keep me posted!

I would go with brewer's yeast - two teaspoons a day in the food for ten weeks, based on what I have read here and elsewhere. Sometimes thiamine is deficient as well as niacin, so that whole B complex seems like it would be useful.

 

[ghostco]

Thanks for the advise. I'll post a new thread also.
you're a hero Hennible.

No no, Amiga is amazing, has way more knowledge than me...

 

[ghostco]

Haha both of you are.
This forum is an amazing resource to have. <3
