Ok. One of my 4 week old Pekins "Dopey" is is still having trouble with standing and balancing. I have added brewers yeast to the food. Is that not enough? Or should I be doing something else?

If you have already shared what Dopey is eating, and if Dopey's legs seem very wide apart (splay leg), I apologize for missing that. Could you repost here? If it is splay leg, the little one needs a proper brace to keep the legs in the right position till they are strong enough.

Are you looking to buy from a hatchery or buy eggs, females, drakes? We had a GREAT experience with meyerhatchery.com They carry every kind of bird you would want. Best wishes to you! This is a great club for ducks! I have learned so much.

Also @quailkids14 How long has Dopey been on the brewers yeast? If they have had the problems for a while it can take more than a few days to see recovery.

His food has niacin in it. But has been on the additional brewers yeast for about a week.

It may take longer just keep it up because they need to be on it for 10 weeks anyway.

Can you post a video? @quailkids14
