He is a Peking, I've been giving him dumore 20% starter since this happened the last time for more protein, grapes and every once in awhile Purina kitten chow, then the pro iotic and electrolytes in his water

He isn' quite a year

I think you should cut back on the protein of the starter and put him on a Turkey finisher feed mixed with a few handfuls of scratch grain. He might be over weight. Also might need extra minerals.

What kind of minerals? I don' think he' overweight he was beautiful now he looks skinny and frail

 

[william wright]

you probably need to give him niacin (vitamin b3) add brewers yeast to his food or i gave my rouens english peas ,either frozen or canned( i lightly heated the frozen ones and gave them canned straight out of the can

Hmmm... I was going to mention niacin because the legs were mentioned @chickens really @Ravynscroft you two are the duck pros. What do you think?

The Duck is older so niacin is not really an issue. Ducks require different feed than Chickens. It must be a vitamin Deficancy. Try a poultry vitamin that contains trace minerals.
