Hi,
I have a 4 week old fawn and white runner. The tips of her wings poke out a little and so I’m worried it might be angel wing. Their feed, manna pro duck starter, is 22% protein. She’s also sitting down a lot more than the other one, and is rocking back onto her hocks sometimes which I thought was a niacin deficiency so I supplemented niacin, but it doesn’t seem to be getting a lot better. If anyone could help out with what to do regarding the leg issue and the angel wing, thanks!

It looks like it could be the start of angel wing. You could wrap now or wait a week and see how it is going. Here is info

As for the weak legs are you providing the right type of niacin it can't be flush-free or time-released? And when one has problems already they need liquid B complex it works faster. so try TSC for the Durvet liquid B complex you can put 1 ml over a yummy treat just a small amount because you want to make sure she gets a full 1 ml dose. You'll do this daily until a week after your seeing recovery and they should be on some type of niac9in until at least 12 weeks of age. The liquid B complex is fine to use for that length of time.

let us know how they are doing.
