My year old created pekin female has shaky legs and keeps laying down. She is eating and drinking fine and roaming with other ducks. any ideas?

She needs Brewers yeast. I had the same problem. After giving brewers yeast in the food for a few weeks he is doing great now. I got my brewers yeast on amazon, but you can also get some in the vitamin shoppe

I am familiar with neurological issues in crested ducks because her sister was blind and had seizures . but this duck is a year old and has never had any issues before. now I know that my drake can injure her during mating how ever I don't feel like its a brain issue
