Does she walk like this? Each time she walks her foot overlaps the other one, which causes her to trip

She really needs the liquid B Complex.

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like her feet are pointed inwards (Pigeon-Toed) which is a common sign of a B3 Niacin deficiency. I would start her on Cattle B Complex Injectable, Durvet brand immediately, you can give her 1ml a day orally with a syringe or over treats, water is not a preferred method of administration since they waste so much water, it's hard to calculate the dosage. In conjunction with this, if you arent already, I would start feeding her a feed formulated for ducks or all poultry, as plain chicken feed does not contain enough niacin for ducks, which leads to problems like this. If you have other ducks, I would start them on the B complex too, even if they are showing symptoms. I would like to see a video of her walking too, just to be sure, although giving the B complex won't hurt any.

When she walks, does she trip over her feet?

Before you give her any fluids orally, please read this article-

This is the brand you want.
