Sexing Ducks

Men they don't like to admit they are softees too, I think that is sweet. What type of B3 are you going to use?

 

[Ursuline Chick]

Yes you can if so inclined. Ever wrestled a duck onto it's back to look at it's privates? lol

No, That's why I said it's okay to laugh, I guess I would be pretty POed if someone wanted to look into my privates for no apparent reason as well.

Someone on here had suggested (in a different post) just a b3 complex that I could get at tractor supply. Do you have another suggestion? We don’t really know what to do, so any help is welcomed! The duck has seemed kind of sick since we got them. He hasn’t ever really been able to walk much, and his left leg is always out to the side (as you can see in the picture). He’s very uncoordinated when he does walk, and falls over a lot.

The type at tsc is a good kind to get. Hope it helps him.

Okay, it says it’s injectable, but is it okay to just put in their water?

Yes. @CayugaJana does that. I am not sure of the dosage. I am sure she will respond when she can.

I pull it out with a syringe, then I squirt it into their water or food/treat. You could do 2mls a day. If you have time and are inclined, I give mine to my ducks first thing in the morning when they haven’t had a drink all night. They will drink up the water if I give it to them that way, or gobble down the treats I put it on.

Okay, so I shouldn’t just put it in the general water supply? I should find a way to make sure they get the whole 2 ml?

Nope, it doesn’t matter. I’m just anal and feel a sense of accomplishment by seeing them ingest all of it. I don’t like to waste it plus it will stain things yellow so I try to minimize that. But the one who is limping, I’d try to make sure he has around 100mg (1 mL a day).
