My Duckling won't walk?!

[Brianna44057]

So. Today I brought my 3 ducklings out side for the first time. they were only out for 5 minutes. When I brought them back in I noticed that the smallest of the 3 stopped walking and was acting strange. I gave them a warm bath. The duck still won't walk but seems to be healthy.

Any idea what I can do to help it?

Sounds like niacin deficiency,try niacin pill capsule.Take the powder out and out in food

Tired because they are in a Brooder and need to gain leg strength...Walking behind Momma they never get bad legs..Laying in a Brooder they do..Excercise....

If your feeding your ducklings chicks starter they will need supplemental niacin in the form of Brewers yeast or Nutritional yeast or plain niacin lack can cause leg weakness even neurological issues.
