My duckling is limping and we don't know why?

[RosieCopland03]

My duckling is about 2 weeks old and most just lays there. When we hold him/her will only put one leg down. It happen right after we clean their cage and we noticed that 2 of our ducklings were limping. Can somebody please help?

Welcome to BYC. Do an on site search on 'niacin deficiency'. It sounds as if that is what you are dealing with. Brewers yeast or vitamin supplements may help the situation. Good luck.

Welcome to BYC, can you take a video of the duckling trying to walk, upload it to youtube or vimeo, then copy and paste the link here?

 

[RosieCopland03]

I don't believe in YouTube, Sorry.
