We are new to raising chicks and ducks. I have a Pekin that is about 7 weeks old who seems to be walking funny and doesn’t want to walk much. He tends to drag his tail, and also holds his neck to one side and leans a bit. Any ideas on what could be causing this? We have an Aylesbury as well who seems to walk fine but he is lower to the ground and doesn’t walk with his neck held as high as my Pekin so it’s difficult to compare the two. He is eating and drinking fine. He sounds a little raspy but I didn’t know if that means he’s a boy. He does also pant a bit more than our Aylesbury. I’m leaning toward thinking it’s a lack of niacin. Would this be a good assumption?
