What are you feeding your duckling? are you adding any niacin? Sounds like a niacin deficiency.

What niacin are you using? if this is a niacin deficiency then the best course of action is to get liquid B Complex TSC carries one called Durvet it will say injectable but we use it orally to treat duckling. Here is info

I would get it ASAP. It works better than just niacin alone.
