still having issues with 1 duck and pigeon toes... what do I do?

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

so I upped the B complex to 5 ml am and 5ml pm / 5 ducks, given over peas, that I smooshed around a bit and made sure of an even coating, if anyone was getting fewer peas than someone else it is the 2 Rouen, which were the 2 that I was least worried about. I also have been giving a tablespoon/ cup of nutritional yeast in their food. one pekin, my favorite one actually, Scuba, is still is all pigeon toed on her left foot. I am really at a loss as to what to do for her, they are about 4 weeks old as of today. the picture was taken right after I got home from work today.
I am open to any suggestions.
thanks
Seth

If it was niacin deficiency it may not heal compleatly depending on how far it progressed. Sometimes they can get twisted feet from a bad hatch.

They are super cute! I had three pekins last spring and ended up putting hobbles on one due to splay leg, as well as give them vitamin B complex once I found out about it. One of the other ones was a little bit pigeon toed and she is to this day. I guess I got the vitamin B started too late for her. But it doesn't really affect her at all and she gets around just fine. Your little duckling might just have to live with it, but she doesn't look too bad and I bet she'll be fine, even if it doesn't correct itself. Just keep the vitamins going. I swear, why don't they sell pekins with a bottle of vitmain B and special instructions?! It seems like everyone has problems with them.

The picture you provided, doesn't look all that bad to me. Ducks feet sometimes will overlap very slightly in some positions, I would definitely suggest on continuing the B complex though.

Scuba isn't the biggest one, she's by far the most friendly, the big ones have improved with the increased dosages, in leg strength and in the pigeon toed, often scuba will be stepping on her right foot. doesn't seem to slow her down much but with our weather they haven't had the opportunity to wander around outside. so I really don't know how she will do with lots of room.

How long have they been on B complex?

How long have they been on B complex?

we have had them 4 weeks on weds, I bought food with it in it so I didn't get any right then, I would say 2.5-3 weeks they have been on it, they have been on an increased dose for about a week and a couple days. I was doing 2.5 ml morning and night before.

Should I keep up with high dose b12? or taper back off to a 1ml per day per duck ratio? I don’t mind some going to waste provided I am not causing bigger issues “juicing them up”

1ml per duck is what we recommend, above three weeks. There is only so much they can actually absorb, giving them more doesn't necessarily mean it's going to help them more, just more expelled through waste.
