okay so do you recommend i feel around for this joint tape there feet and administer the niacin

http://www.poultrypedia.com/poultry-podiatry here is a good link on slipped tendons. It talks about chickens, but a slipped tendon is the same in all birds.

I would put the tendon back in place. Niacin would be a good idea too. My adult duck had a slipped tendon and I was eventually able to get it to stay. She still can't walk perfectly, but she still can get around just fine.

okay thank you so much! if i need anymore help i will message on here!

I also found the best way to get the tendon back in place is to stretch the leg out with the webbed foot straight out too. When the webbed foot is straight vs an L shape, it relaxes the muscle and tendon. So it should be easier to get back in place.
