Hello
I hope you can help me...
I have had two ducks die with no apparent reason, one saturday morning, a 6 week old Rouen, and then this monring, Monday a 6 week old runner? No symptoms at all, no indication that anythign is wrong?
No slime in the bill or nostrils, no feed jammed ion throat or crop, clean vent?
Any ideas, coudl they be a little cold its about 60 deg at night with 75 deg days...or is it they are not getting enough greens? they are being fed a mixture of meat bird and duck and goose. average 5 of protein about 20%.
this happened to us last year but the necropsy showed nothing, the pond they are on is clean with no contaminants, they are penned in so they can not eat something they shouldn't?
the only similarity is that they were bought form the same place as last year...
Has anyone else experienced this? I only have 7 geese and 4 ducks left...
Please help? /img/smilies/hit.gif
**Update**
This time it was my baby African Goose... getting a necropsy tomorrow? I'm thinking its water contamination, we have pulled them off the pond, they are living with the sheep./img/smilies/sad.png
I'll keep you posted
So yesterday I fed my ducks and their food and water was perfectly fine and then today I found my duck dead and it was partly eaten. I have chickens with my ducks but they are fine together. Any ideas why my duck could have died?
