Niacin deficiency in my duckling

if u zoom in u can see what i mean about the bowing outwards thing.

I am sorry, but I can't tell anything from that picture. Did you try feeling around her hock joint like I mentioned?

i did and it honestly doesn’t feel any different. maybe a little warm but i feel like her legs are just warm. she’s been getting a little better. i have about 6 acres of land and she walks across it all day but she does lay down a lot.

The warmth is an indication she has some sort of injury. It is hard to say what the injury is from the information. I would at least recommend making her rest with a friend for a couple days. Some ducks won't rest unless they are made to, and the lack of rest can cause strain on any thing going wrong in the leg. Some deep water therapy would also be helpful for her as well. Having her in a deep tub where she can float will take strain off her legs, and allow her to use them in a low stress environment.
