Customer with sick waterfowl

hes asking me for advice, i've got nothing, never had a sick duck or goose in my life, thought they were bomb proof! they are fine, then they start loosing coordination and fall down, then they just give up walking. apparently wing twitch too... but eating drinking and grooming normally

Vitamin B ,niacin levels may be low . Go too store and buy some bran mix it with there feed this may help . A quicker method is a quarter cc of injectable b complex into breast .

hes using a custom feel blend we make in the store, that is for breeding, it has a full vitamine & mineral load, aswell as brewers yeast, and his birds are free range (everything is still growing here, i may have to mow the grass again -_-) I suggested the stressaid, it has niacin and assorted b vi in it... and gave him a few food choices... seams odd. also hes not the sort to vet it lol

The only other problem I can think of is Botulism if they free range they may have found something bad .
