My Khaki Campbell is having problems.

[iammaryp]

Hi, new here. One of my new Khaki Campbell ducklings is having problems. The duck is about 3 weeks old, and as the weather is warm, we decided to introduce the babies to the flock. Initially, doing ok, but now it's having difficulty walking, seems to have trouble seeing, and now it's head/neck are twitching. We're not sure what this is. We've isolated the duckling, in case it is contagious. Any ideas out there? We appreciate all the help. We are new "bird parents", and have about 17 ducks, and about 30 chicks. No one else seems to be having any problems. Is this treatable, and if so, how?

Sounds like Niacin Deficiency to me. Get Sav-a-Chick (or other), add to water, get Dumor Starter Feed with the Niacin Supplement and keep the duckling separate from the older birds. Maybe just 1 or 2 of same age together.

Edited: just noticed, you said head twitching, not leg! Sorry! You might be wise to continue keeping it separated. But being alone is really hard for them too.
