Hello! I have been a duck mom for the past 2 years. Kinda just been winging it and learning as I go. Recently I have come across a few issues and needed a place I could hopefully turn to. I currently have 1 drake Peking, a drake and female khaki Campbell, and 2 new duck that I was given that I’m not sure if they are mallards or Rouen ducks or drakes or females. One big reason I decided to join BYC is because one of my new ducks yesterday was fine when I let it out to free range and then a few hours later couldn’t stand or walk. It seems as though only one leg is affected. It can stand for a short period of time on one leg. I separated it from the other ducks after this incident. Today it seems to be the same. I don’t know if I should find a vet or give it a few days to heal and see what happens. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with that duck. Hopefully someone didn't intentionally give you a sick animal.

Welcome to BYC. What are you feeding him? Ducks have a need for niacin.
