Pekin duck injury

[LisaChick1]

I have a 1 1/2 month old flock of 8 pekin ducks. I noticed today 1 laying down while eating and as I approached, it ran with a severe limp. I inspected the foot and leg and see no cut or injury... Could it be sprained? What can I do to help this little girl?
Thank you

I could be a sprain or injury such as that.

Pekins, unfortunately, grow so fast they often have leg problems. There are some things you could do to try and reverse the problem. Provide lots of vitamins and niacin, cut back on the grower feed to a few times a day and feed more fiber filled foods to promote slower growth.

I hope it gets better soon! Best of luck.
