Sounds like your baby might have another issue? Niacin is always a good start and a good bet. Like someone else said should recover in 2-3 days if that’s the issue. I had a pekin duckling who needed niacin more than the others, I supplied him with brewers yeast on feed. However since then I’ve also purchased nutritional yeast flakes which are also put on feed. Another excellent source is liquid b complex which, as others have said, you can put on mealworms, oats, or simply give orally. Other ideas are peas, and chopped up unsalted peanuts. My flock has liked both of those. You can also purchase niacin capsules (make sure NOT flush free) and mix the capsules with their water! Best of luck to you!!!

I have poultry booster mixed with their feed and am also giving him the liquid b complex, tomorrow will be his 3rd day on it so hopefully I see some type of improvement

Do you believe this could be wry neck ? His neck seems a little crooked and While he does hold his head up when he sleeps it is flipped down and he does not straighten it out like the others . He is still not walking right and I still find him upside down sometimes. I just want something to improve I don’t want him to suffer .

Any way you can take him to a vet?

I want to so bad , I’m not sure if my regular vet would take him or if my parent will allow me to, he was a 5 dollar duck and they don’t want to spend anymore money on them. I want to help him so bad I’m so attached to this once because I’ve been giving him extra care . All I do is worry if he is ok and I’m going to go insane . Now I also noticed one of his tail feathers is bloody:hit

Sounds like someone pulled some tail feathers. Your giving your duckling BComplex right. Do you have TSC or human brand?

Yes the vitamin B complex from tractor supply today will be the 4th day, I also put save a chick probiotics and electrolytes in the water yesterday because him not walking as much I’m not sure how much water he is getting .
