Pigeon Toed Pekins

[Tomswood6410]

Hi, I have 2 pekin ducks that are a year old, that are very pigeon toed, they don't get around very well. They were given to us at 6 months of age and were already like this. Now I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to help them? Or is it too late? Any ideas would be appreciated!

At their age, the angulation is likely permanent and without surgical corrections, the chance of recovering is low. Pigeon-toed feet is often the result of a niacin deficiency; you can supplement the birds with a niacin supplement and see whether there is an improvement or not.
