Pekin Duck Club!

Well , I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I was talking about, the medicated flock raiser. So your basically saying, it won't kill my ducks?

Feed medicated with amprolium and/or bacitracin is safe for ducks.

Are you feeding adults of ducklings?

Please help. My pekin ducks were born in April and I've got one that has a hard time moving around and looks funny when it walks. I've also just started to notice another duck that seems to pick on it. Is there something wrong with this duck and if so what can I do to help it?

Get ahold of Miss Lydia or Amiga. They are amazing members.

I am sorry to hear your sweetie is having a hard time. I hope he or she can get some help.

Please answer some questions. This will help figure out what's wrong & what can be done to help.

What's the brand name of the food you provide them?
Do you add any Niacin or B vitamins to their food?
How long has this been going on?
Can you provide a better description relating to "hard time moving around and looks funny when it walks"? Do the legs look bowed or crooked?

Please also post a pic or video (better option) of him moving about. If a picture make sure the legs are clearly visible and a couple of different angles would be good.

I'll tag some people that can help once these questions are answered.

Right now we need to wait for your questions to be answered Debs Flock. Hopefully we'll get them soon. If your duckling is being picked on you need to remove it because stress can just complicate things even more, try putting it with another of your ducks that is mellow so it can have a buddy though.
