Niacin Deficiency?

[MtnMomma86]

I just got 4 ducks from someone and I believe they have a niacin deficiency. They are about 8 wks old. Is it too late for them? Can they be helped? I Will be buying niacin tomorrow in hopes that it helps.

Depends on how long they have been having problems? whag are their symptoms?

They walk with their feet turned in. They seem to get around ok but the joints look swollen.. I will try to get a good video or picture tomorrow

They are stepping on their own feet and tripping a lot.

I would definatly start the nutritional or brewers yeast asap.
Even if it doesnt help their legs straighten up compleltely it will still help strengthen them.
At least they are still walking. Thats good

Or niacin capsules opened up in the water.
Make sure its not flush free or time released
