My Duck Won't Stand Up

[Justin44]

I'm a new member. I have 3 six week old Cayugas. I have been letting them outside during the day and bringing them in side each evening. Everything seemed to be fine until this morning one of the ducks is unable to stand at i seems like the other 2 are fine but don't want to leave her. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like she may be B3 deficient, but I'd like to know more info first, what are you feeding, any supplements, does her legs feel warm, do you notice any warts on the bottom of her feet, what kind of bedding are you using, could you post a picture of her, any other symptoms, limp neck?

I started with 22% chick started and adding Brewer's Yeast. About 2 weeks ago when I bought more feed i switched to 20% still adding Brewer's Yeast.

Her legs don't seem warm...I don't notice any other symptoms...Neck seems normal. I have her separated right now. She is getting around better now than she was earlier, she can stand a take a few steps.

I started with pine shavings for bedding. Changed to straw last week.

I'll get you a pic soon. Its been a hectic morning, sorry.

A picture would be great, but a video of her trying to walk would be even better!
