Issue with Duck’s leg

[Soccerjen3]

Hi!!

so we have lots of ducks and chickens on my families property that we own. Then We get more frequently then most, random ducks who come and lay probably because they feel safe. Usually muscovy and mallards.

well this time we had Muscovy lay some eggs and the mom and other duckare gone except this one guy who has a leg issue. So we did what any of us would do and took her/him in.

The duck looks healthy, eats and drinks but the ducks right leg is more outwards than the left. It’s probably a niacin deficiency but I just wanted to see your suggest and if anything else I can do because this duck is all alone since our locate stores don’t have any more chicks or ducks for sale

I already started giving the duck save and chick electrolytes which has added niacin.The duck also now has feed that is 20 percent Protein with niacin in it as well. She had a separate space with a heat lamp.

I have had her in my care for about two and a half days now.

are there things I look for? Could it possibly be something else?? Please help! Anything would be great. Our ducks or chicks never had any of these problems

Could you post a video of her walking, and a picture of the bottom of her foot?

We have a almost 3 week old duckling (Welsh Harlequin) that is also limping but not nearly that bad. It is barely noticeable. She always walks then lays down to eat or drink. She drinks and eats fine though and is roughly the same size as the other ducklings. We did notice when we pick her up one leg joint is larger than the other one like maybe 15% to 20% larger. We are feeding them all (chicks and ducks) food that is approved for both with the correct amount of Niacin. Hoping she will outgrow whatever it is.

The ankle area looks a little swollen. Maybe an injury what all are you doing for it?

What’s the content of niacin?
