Have four 1 month old messy ducklings in the house. The Cayuga has one leg that tremors rapidly - We have niacin in the feed
What does it need Selenium or ?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

We just put two messy buff ducks outdoors. They're rescues so not sure of age but thinking about 5 weeks old. They were on some duck feed when we got them, but I transitioned them to Kalmbach's Flock Maker. That has sufficient niacin for ducklings, too.

I'm not sure, but I'd say it was a deficiency of something. Were mine doing this, I would give them Poultry Cell and B-Complex drops in their mash. Or, can give them some straight, with an eyedropper to the side of his beak.

Hi @Elizabett

I just started raising ducks as well. They are pretty messy, but I enjoy them a lot.

Good luck with solution for duck.

Welcome!

Welcome to BYC, Elizabett! I have never raised ducks but @Jenbirdee has lots of experience with them. She will be along shortly. Good luck with your duckling.
