Help with Khaki Campbell duckling. Can't walk.

[Fenwylde]

I have 45 Khaki Campbell ducklings that are one month old. I recently found one that has difficulty or can't walk. I bought some niacin yesterday because I read here that this type of thing could be a niacin deficiency. I also brought her in this morning for a bath with a buddy. I noticed that her feet are not spread out like her buddy's. She doesn't have yoga toes. She's not really swimming in the tub either. She just floats. In the first photo you can see her buddy's foot. Looks like normal duckling. In the second, you see my special needs case. Is there any hope for her?

What type of niacin? Flush free and time release won’t work. When one of our ducklings is showing signs of niacin deficiency the best treatment is liquid BComplex here is info. Don’t give up just get the liquid BComplex ASAP

I got the liquid B Complex and got some stuff n her mouth. I also put some in their water. I plan to continue this daily. I'll let you know if she improves.

Thanks updates always welcome.
Be very careful putting liquid in her mouth you don't want her to aspirate.
