Thanks to anyone who can help me... I had 6 three month old barnyard mixed ducks that were hatched when we found an abandoned nest in our barn. they have been healthy and happy , raised indoors with heat for two months, removed heat and put in enclosed area outside a couple of weeks ago... they have been fine, clean water for drinking and separate play pond appropriate for their size... locked up nightly in duck house... suddenly last night we lost three... temps have not varied much since introducing them to outdoors three weeks ago... .days are in the 60s , nights in mid 40s and up... after removing the three dead , all others were active and fine... two hours later , one was lethargic, felt cold and was lifeless... he is now indoors being heated but I have no idea what is happening since I have raised ducklings for 14 years with no issues...
