Rocks back on legs...normal??

[kferguson]

We have had our first (and sadly only) duckling hatch about 2 days ago. I say 'he' but I'm not sure..he's wobble in the legs. Doesn't eat too much. Was worried about niacin, so we gave him B complex this am, and afternoon. Also scrambled him an egg for nutrients...got him to eat a couple nibbles. He will go to water on his own. Just always seems to stand on his leads more than feet. I have pics if that helps.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

Not normal does he walk at all normally? What B complex are you using and how much. @Isaac 0 any ideas?

I'd move her on to towels which will have a bit more traction than the paper towels, I would also wait a day or two for improvement, if it is nutritionally related improvement should be shown very soon. If there isn't we'll collect some more info about your duckling and try to find the best possible way of treatment, but I'd give some time for the complex to kick in.

He's on a towel, just moved to paper towels for photo shoot...lol

He went to town on the scrambled egg...so I'm hoping to see some improvement. I also added a mirror to his house so he's got someone to chirp at...lol
