Hey everyone, I ordered two baby geese, and they arrived today (less than 48 hours delivery) and one of them has bowed legs and curved feet-there was a great post on the duck forum about niacin deficiency that pictured the same foot curving. I called the hatchery before I found that and they had also advised to treat for Niacin deficiency.
I do have brewers yeast I got for my ducks and chickens but it doesn’t say how much niacin or B-3 vitamins it has in it. I only got it as a preventative measure for my other birds, but so happy to have on hand, but couldn’t find the actual info on what it supplies online so now I’m really worried I need to find better stuff tomorrow, can anyone help find the details or recommend what best to get for geese?
Also, with proper treatment does anyone know how long it may be to see improvement? I sprinkled the yeast over there food and grit and also have them on a broiler booster that I ordered with them that you add to water. It contains Vitamin A, D, E, B-12, electrolytes, and biotin.
It’s my first time ever ordering birds and I just want him to get better, when I gave them a bath I also noticed he almost sits vertical in the water which I think is credited to the bowed legs but I’m not sure
Here he is with the brewers yeast I have. Thank you so much for your help!!
