Issue with Duck’s leg

What’s the content of niacin?

We have two different feeds. One is the Purina Flock Layer which does not show the percentage but list "Guaranteed niacin levels required for ducklings". The other feed I had to call the company and they said it contained 25g per pound of food and their nutritionist said ducklings only need 18g per pound of food.

Just found where the Purina lists it at 55ppm Niacin. Not sure if that is the correct amount.

It is but Layer isn’t for ducklings but Flock Raiser is one of the best you can buy. It’s for all stages of life

You are correct. I should have said raiser instead of layer. I have the Purina flock layer crumbles.

Going off from the video, it looks to me like your duckling either broke something or sprained some type of ligament. A vet would be your best route at this point.

Well to update the one duck with the limp is doing much much better now. I built them a pool and have let them swim almost daily. I think it strengthened her leg and now she is good. She still sits a lot but the limp is almost unnoticeable.
