Why is my Pekin duckling's legs trembling?

[Silvermist]

Hi, I have a KC and Pekin duckling and recently I realized that my Pekin's legs were shaking a lot. I suspect it might be cold, but my ducklings do get a heater almost every night. She also sits a lot instead of walking around. Is this normal? What should I do?

The best thing you can do is add a Niacin supplement. Deficiencies can cause that, but please do know that the Pekin breed seems to be more inclined to leg issues thruout their lives. But start with Niacin. Either in the water or by sprinkling Brewer's Yeast on the food.
