Pekin Duckling with no balance

[gallusgallusgalore]

I went to my local feed store to buy a.....few.....(15 it turned out to be lol) bitties and they also had pekin ducklings. I wasn't planning on getting any but there was one ducking in a cage by itself and it looked like one leg wasn't working. The owner said that if I wanted him I could have him. I'm a softy for helpless animal so I took him home. He's seems to have more movement in his bad leg but he still flops and scoots on his back and acts like he has no balace or his equilibrium is off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Both of his legs are working good today but he is still scooting and rolling around on his back. Could his back be broken? How could I tell?

He may have nutritional deficiencies and need some niacin and time swimming. Duck legs are prone to trouble when they have poor diets. I would suggest that you post about him in the duck section. You will get more responses there.
