Ducks are doing great! They just got moved outside for their first night. My pekin is walking so much better, the b complex definitely seems to be helping. I do have some questions about their behavior though. I used to be able to walk up to my pekin and he would gladly let me pet him and he...

Will do

Thank you so much for all the help.

I got the vitamin b complex, how often do I give it to him? And for how long?

I work at a TSC, I’ll pick some vitamin B complex up. I don’t know if he’s a jumbo, when we received the birds in, they came in as assorted ducks. Most of the ducks were pekins, but there where some rouens and some other breeds. When I first found him in the tank of ducks, he was noticeably...

Thanks, I know they need lots of niacin, I am currently feeding a duck food that contains niacin. How would I go about getting a supplement? My Rouen seems to be doing very well just my pekin that seems to be struggling. I work at a store that sells birds and the other Perkins his age, at the...

I posted on here about a month ago, I brought home a Pekin that had curled toes. He’s doing much better with his foot now!! However, I have questions I’m not seeming to find the answers for. My other duck is a Rouen so I can’t compare them. My ducks are 4-5 weeks old, for the most part my...

Thanks. Yeah I think he’ll need one more boot. But he’s doing so much better already.

Isn’t he!!

Thanks for the advice. We did end up putting a second boot on which helped a lot. Doing swim therapy also.

Yes his foot is doing so much better, walking much better. One side of his foot still a little smushed together. We’ve been doing swim therapy and he started diving in the water.

Thank you. I took the boot off, looking much better. I think he’ll still need another boot though. Also working on swim therapy, recommend by a coworker who knows lots about poultry.

Feet are looking good, he can actually walk on it a little normal. I need to get a new boot on I think at least one more time.

Thanks. I work at a tractor supply, I talked to a coworker who knows lots about ducks. I got some information from her. She recommended swim therapy so get him to use his legs, strengthen it. I am currently feeding food that contains a niacin supplement.

Thanks. He got the boot off but made a new one, tried to get it up the ankle more. Will check on it tomorrow.
