Can you get to TSC and buy some Liquid BComplex https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/. Read this and it tells you what to get and how to give it. Your not trying to force them to walk an run?

NO.

What should I do then.

Seems hard for me to believe that a mallard would develop a niacin deficiency when being fed a diet formulated for ducks, but I could be wrong. I'd like to know more about their setup. What are they kept in during the day, and night?

This exact for morning
Then for evening but then they also swim.
Then night they go back in the tub.

Keep they can’t injure their legs any worse. Do you have an outside coop and run that’s secure? I’d get them out of that tub that has to be crowded. Warm water tub baths so they can exercise their legs your going to have to stay right with them your little a Mallard may have a very difficult time even being in water so you might have to wait till you see some improvement. Hopefully it’s not too late for that little one. Sure wish you’d come here as soon as you saw this.

With the treatment do I need to do anything special like make as splint or just keep giving it to them with no special changes.

Is this close or at least good enough for them this is as big as I got.

I think for now just get them on this liquid B complex did you read about niacin deficiency? When you get the Durvet liquid b complex peel off the foil and use a syringe with out a needle an pull out 2 ml that’s 1 ml for each duckling put it over a tasty treat they love so they eat it right up. This isn’t going to be a over night recovery and your Pekin has a much better chance than your Mallard but don’t give up they need this everyday.
