Ducks and their ability to recover

[PotatoWaffles]

Did you have this posted somewhere else i went back through this thread and couldn't find anything.. Oh my gosh hope your duck and I don't know which one is going to be okay. 

Thank you, it's my Cayuga, Michelle. This is her just a few days ago all happy and healthy.

Completely understand.  So sorry to hear about Michelle's current situation.  It sounds like the same steps I would take, maybe some added vitamins if you have any laying around, I picked up a small container of poultry vitamin supplement from TSC for 5 or 6 dollars.  @Amiga on here may have additional thoughts and is someone I would also ask for an opinion.  Warmth, liquids and TLC.  My best wishes and warmest thoughts to you and your little Cayuga Michelle!!!

Thank you. I didn't even think of extra vitamins *facepalm* I'll give her some in her water if she still seems bad this afternoon.

Everyone else is fantastic. The two lils are happy and growing normally. The only other problem I'm having is one of my newly introduced ducks being a little overly aggressive. But that's calming down too. Everyone was happy and healthy until yesterday. They forage together and are all getting along pretty well as a flock. I take the lils out with me every day when I do "duck duty" (feeding/watering the adults). Other than the incident yesterday, everything has been just peachy lol.

Look at those babies they have grown so much.. They all look great. Is Michelle eating and drinking?

As far as I know, yes. She ate mealworms right out of my hand yesterday as I was holding her in the towel. She's usually very skittish.

Great to hear. And very nice photos of your flock.

Good news. @PotatoWaffles let us know how she is doing please.

She seemed better yesterday, so I let her back in with the flock. Her skin is not red or irritated anymore, just a little brown and scabbed over in places. She acted and ate and drank normally, and even laid a nice egg last night I think she'll be okay.
