Legs

[charlenewil]

Just wondering if anyone could help, i have 2 week old cherry valley ducks, my neighbour also has the same, their ducks are,coming along beautifully they are fed the same food as my ducks, but my ducks have feet that are pointing inwards and the skin on their legs is also peeling, mine hardly walk or even stand i don't know if its because they are in pain or not, im really worried. I have no previous experience so im going on what ive been told or read online, please help as in very attached to them as are my children x

Welcome to BYC! I'm a chicken person and don't know much about ducks (although I've had a few and have to admit that ducklings are the ultimate in cute), but you have gotten some good links from Mountain Peeps and liz9910. I hope your ducks recover. Good luck.

Are you feeding and caring for them like the other person that has the same? Do yours get to swim in a shallow pool? Sorry I know nothing about ducks either.

Welcome to BYC

Glad you joined us! All I know about duck leg problems is that a lack of niacin in their diet can cause problems with their legs and feet. You'll get more info and good advice in the duck section. Good luck!
