I am in need of some advice! My 13 week old peckin duck is taking 3 to 4 seizures a day. She had her legs grow wrong where they look bowed. Since then she has been healthy until two days ago. She started taking seizures badly. No vet in my area deals with exotic birds. My ducks and chickens both eat the same food, flock maker. If anyone could help I’d appreciate it I do not know how to help her
 
I think the Niacin deficiency is what's causing the seizures and all these poor ducklings problems. Here's a link with good info too. http://tiramarhomestead.com/2018/05/what-you-need-to-know-about-ducks-and-niacin/

Sounds like Chicky was a very good chicken! 😉 Sorry she passed, sounds like she had a very good life though.:):love
 
The bowed legs sounds like niacin deficiency. Post pics of her, feed bag, pen please.
This is the kind and brand of food we get. Do not have current bag but that is for sure the kind we get.
