Ok so we are having some issues with one of our pekins. He is about 5 weeks old and having issues walking. I’ve read around d and I’m guessing g it’s a vit B issue but I figured I’d post on here just to make sure.

Visually there is no feet issues and he doesn’t peck at me when I pick him up to inspect his legs.

Raised on purina flock raiser the first week then moved to purina duck pellets since then. All the other ducks are having no issues.

I have nutritional yeast but we haven’t been using it since we switched to the duck pellets. I can add to food currently just incase.

If there are no outside options then I’m gonna try and get my hands on some liquid vit b and start doing 4-5 drops 3x a day.

Also added a photo, it’s the one on the far right. They were moved into the shed with temp controls over this past weekend.

I'd add the nutritional yeast on top of your pellets. Absorption of nutrients is always variable, especially from individual to individual. That one just may need the bump in niacin provided by the yeast.
 
I also chopped up some lettuce and sprinkled a tiny bit of the nutritional yeast on it and the wobble duck ate it right up. We’re gonna do that 2 to 3 times a day until the liquid shows up because of course I can’t find it locally so I had to order off Amazon
 
Did you get this?
I have this ordered, but that’s taking a bit longer so I got another one as well. That arrives on Friday that is just vitamin B three and I made sure that it’s not flushable or some shit. Or that it was flushable. I remember reading another post saying that you don’t wanna get the ones that say Non-flushable or something like that.
