WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BABY DUCKS?

[jnwplus4]

We are new to raising ducks. On April 1st we bought 4 baby ducks from Rural King and then 2 more for Quality Farm & Fleet. Things have been going well until this week. Each day, a new duck is limping, totally walking weird?? One barely gets around?? What is going on? I called a vet and both stores and they are clueless. One duck is fine out of the six. I took pics of one of the legs tonight. I don't even know what's normal and what's not? They are still being kept inside and under a heat lamp. I feel terrible.

What are you feeding them?

we bought all the same food and equipment that the store was using. It was their recommendation. Starter feed, not positive the name

I did start using this?? Sprinkled it in the bedding.

I'm kinda new to ducklings too, but someone on here told me that if they are getting just chick starter then they can develop neurological problems and go lame. They need extra niacin that they don't get from the chick starter.
