Good morning / evening folks

Good morning to you and all. It looks to be a foggy, dismal morning, but not cold; I will take it. Today the ducklings get cleaned, candle turkey eggs, start cleaning the serama coop, and try to burn garbage/debris from the storms.

I hope your day is a good one!

A red phoenix pullet; she shows a great deal of promise with her long tail that is now longer than her body. Paired with the right roo, she and her sister, should give me some spectacular cockerels.

Two of my favorites.

 

[Magnolia Ducks]

Almost wants to make me have chickens. My poor ill bred barnyard ducks. Ok speaking of barnyard ducks, you guys know, I think, that I messed up the incubator temp and it took 33 to 35 days to hatch one bator full. I ended up with a club foot. Rather than shoe her, I massaged her and worked her foot so she could walk on it. It was turned backwards and she walked on her ankle and the top part of her foot. So success, she looks normal now. BUT now I have a bad bow leg from the same hatch. I've never had niacin issues with Mazuri feed. So I started her on liquid b and i m thinking of hobbling her with a hair squeegie. She's 2 1/2 weeks, maybe too late for the hobble. She's a dark grey duckling and I'm not sure what color she'll be.

I think @CoriM hobble her duckling as old or older than yours @Magnolia Ducks sure never hurts to try.
Congrats on getting the club foot worked out!!

Your ducklings are having developmental problems, most likely, due to the improper incubation temperature and not the lack of niacin. But giving the niacin might help. At 2 1/2 weeks the duckling still has a lot of growth to do. Try the hobble; it can't hurt and may well make the legs better.
