Hello I have 2 four week old pekin ducks and 1 of them does have a niacin deficiency, duck food wint be coming until Saturday I ran out a few days ago so I've been feeding then rice and watermelon for the time being, now I'm feeding them blended canned corn to restore some of the niacin. The 1 with the deficiency isnt doing well its eyes became smaller it barely eats and barely walks around now and its neck isnt stretched out like a normal duck, its retracted, is it dying? This is a before and after pic. Note: the feathers may be ruffled because they r wet from the rain.

Sorry to hear about your duckling.
Do you think you could bring it somewhere warmer, inside?
After doing so, try offering some warm electrolyte fluids, and see if she will take to mashed scrambled eggs?
Do you have a feed store nearby you can pick up some proper poultry feed?

The closest store is a 2 hour drive and is in an area thats known for racism and attacks, so I had to order from online, i can bring them inside and try to keep them warm and feed them warm food and liquids thanks.

Sorry to hear that is the case.
I hope you will see some improvement after bringing them inside and start offering more feed/fluids.
