Why can't my Pekin duck walk

[rcockerham]

One of my yr old girls was walking fine this morning and then this afternoon she's won't walk or stand. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or any suggestions on what to do

if you have a drake it may jump on her.my drake jumped on one of my girls constantly and she goy a limp I let her recover and she was fine. But yours could be a different case.

I would confine her to a small space with food and water just for her, if you can have one of her friends near -by that usually helps. We have a "show-crate" that we use as a temporary hospital. If you can't see any injury, she may be ok with just a few days rest. Be sure she is getting enough niacin - we sprinkle brewers yeast on the flock raiser just to be sure.

Has she been laying? She could be egg bound.

She lays about every other day to every day. Her legs just give out on her while she walks. Where can I buy brewers yeast? I bought niacin tablets to put in their water but I don't think they get it all since they splash so much out of their water bucket.

Health food stores sell it, you can get it online, even some of the larger grocery stores may offer it.
