Where can I get a wheelchair for my duck

Where can I get a wheelchair for my Pekin?

Here is an older BYC thread asking about how to make one. Someone put a link in there about where to buy one too. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/duck-wheel-“chair”-pattern-needed.1377032/

Ooooo thank you! I’ve seen ones on Amazon and all of the wheels are small.

From what I saw, it looked pretty easy to make one with PVC. If you wouldn't be able to, could you find someone to make one for you? Probably way cheaper and then it'd be exactly fit for your duck.

I’m sure my husband can. He seems to able to do all that handy stuff. Hopefully this helps, we rescued a Pekin that was dumped in the river, in December. He legs seem to be getting worse and he can’t keep up w the other ducks.
I appreciate you sharing this post. It makes me happy.

Awe, you're welcome!

Have you tried adding brewers or nutritional yeast to its feed? It could be a niacin (B3) deficiency. If it is, it'll take a week or so and you'd start seeing improvements.

I'm not a duck person, but posting photos of your feathered friend and his legs would be helpful, if you're looking for advice/assistance. Plus, ducks are adorable.

When I first got him in December I had given him nutritional yeast, switched to niacin with no improvement. Unfortunately I stopped cuz I started to focus on other duck issues. I will have to beef up the niacin. I pour in water and sprinkle it on food as if it were salt
