I thank the guys around here all the time for what they do for me, if not for them lord knows the trouble I would be in or if I would lose my temper on someone and do god knows what. They teach me to be calm so it is me that is lucky they let me care for them

Have you tried some poultry vitamins for the little one? He's cute.

Ducks are very social, so being near others will help him.

 

[Renegade Rescue]

No but will look into it

he is late developing them they are growing in now but very slow

Apple cider vinegar is supposed to be a good duck tonic, too. The unpasteurized kind of ACV. A few tablespoons in a gallon of water.

I like a dash of ACV in water, myself!

Honestly...coming from someone who is going through the SAME thing he looks like he has been picked on his back, which is why he is bald. I have a pekin female, approx 8-9 weeks old, who was almost picked to death before I had her. She had no use of her left leg at all and minimal use of her right. She is now starting to get her feathers back after 2 weeks and is starting to walk again. Get vitamins, I use the vitamins/electrolyte supplement at Tractor Supply and also Nutri-Drench. I have been mixing it in her water since we got her 2 weeks ago. And she gets supervised swims in the kiddie pool....Read through my thread on her and her progress. You will see how far she has come in just 2 weeks. He's young, given the vitamins ect he should bounce back! It's more then likely a niacin deficiency.
