Two ducks have died what's happened!?

I have sent both ducks to a vet who is going to do a post mortum and hopefully find out what happened. Its really strange as the enclosure theyre in has absolutely no dangerous things in it

That will hopefully get you the answers.

To me this does sound like poisoning, especially since multiple ducks had the same symptoms. Could their feeder or waterer have lead in it?

I have a 3 ducks still alive but it is strange that 2 died in one day. Their water basin has been topped up with fresh water everyday and for the past week instead of letting them out into the big lush grass garden i have just kept them in their small garden as i havnt had time these nights to go out and bring them in. It doesn make sense how 2 have died even though they all do the same thing. You know like if one finds a bug or a puddle of water they all join in.

I just read an article there about a guy whose ducks were attacked by a mink but it wasnt until a postmortem that he found that out. I know many years ago when my granny owned poultry there used to be minks and things that killed them but they havent been around fro a very very long time. Anything is possible really
