Under developed ducklings

[Luv Ducks]

Do you think I could feed her something to make her bad leg grow? I know that sound so stupid but just wondering.

I always fed mine Chick starter unmedicated but I know they recommend Niacin for leg issues. I have never had any so I have been blessed. I don't know if that will help or not if it is a deformity.

Ok I might be able to get some will in town.

I’m not sure that’s possible but vitaim B complex does help with leg issues
Can she walk at all ?
Maybe a video would help us all to see what you are seeing

No question is stupid my Dear. This is how we learn how to help our feathered friends.

She can push her self around but I wouldn’t call that walking so no. I’ll try to get a vid when I get home if she’s still alive.

She really needs to be inside so she doesn't get trampled. Use the Liquid B complex if she is eating good, Just put it over a small amount of feed so she gets the full dose. If it's a defect she still could have a good life with moderations to her living conditions. very soft bedding so she isn't laying on hard ground etc. Like a walker there are sites online that can help. I am giving you this link because it gives dose for age of the duckling. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/.

That’s what she was like last night! I can’t believe how fast she could start to stand!

She looked good to me. The video was so fast it was hard to see if she was having difficulty.

She just kinda jumps to walk
