New ducks with problems.

[Indianrunner123]

I got 4 new fawn and white Indian runners yesterday. One of the ducks is as light as a feather and is extremely weak. Plus all but one has that wet feather disease I think.

I am going to worm them all and give them a vitamin b tonic I have. I have some black strap molasses in their food also.

Is there anything else I can do? Really hate seeing this little duck feeling poorly and hate that they can't swim and preen themselves well either.

Many thanks

You may want to consider offering extra protein - it helps with feather growth. The B complex is a good idea, especially if they're showing leg weakness/problems.

Plenty of good, nutritionally-appropriate food, clean water (to drink and bathe in) and bedding, vitamin supplements, and access to greens should go a long way to rehabilitating them.

Wishing you and your new flock the best!
