Need help. Duck problem

[Ash999]

Hello so i have a one year old peeking and i was doing fine until now, he crawls on his knees because for some reason he can’t walk. I’ve put calcium in his food to see if that would help, i mean he’s doing better than what he was but is there anything else i can do because i really don’t want to have to put him down...

Can you post pics of his legs and a video so we can see what he is doing? What do feed him ?

It's a deficiency because Pekin are meat Birds and grow rapidly or else you feed to high of a protein diet..

this is what a lady at tractor supply recommend me because she has ducks that are the same and the vet told her to use this

It's a Drake so definitely doesn't need a laying Hen feed. And the oyster shell at all...Stop feeding that. Feed it a finisher feed for poultry..

This this is a drake? He is probably getting too much calcium. Layer is for layers. Can you get an all flock feed or a grower and mix it so your drake isn’t getting too much calcium? I’d put him in a small pen where he can still see everyone but isn’t trying to keep up or injuring himself by not being able to walk. Get the right feed and give him swim time daily so he can build his leg muscles up wouldn’t hurt to add some poultry vitamins to his water daily also.help him in and out of the pool so he doesn’t hurt himself.
