    Can too much finely cracked corn make ducks ill.........Will they die?

    wait, I think it is important to get away, even for a weekend. you need your time for recreation. Farm animals require a lot of work....even back yard flocks are a handful. I rue the day that things go wrong, however my husband, my family, my self, needs down time. Find a reliable sitter...

    Can too much finely cracked corn make ducks ill.........Will they die?

    Actually, I had two 4 year old chickens and one just died out of the blue one day an hour after I left them in June. Then Easter went broody three weeks ago, so I bought some eggs on Ebay so that she wouldn't be lonely and just for fun put in three duck eggs. I now have one beautiful baby duck...

    Can too much finely cracked corn make ducks ill.........Will they die?

    I gave them the vitamins (in their water) and the drake took a couple of sips but Rita would not even get up, so as per the suggestion I also put a flat bowl out with duck pellets watered down with the vitamin water. I'm losing hope for Rita. Crossing my fingers she'll be okay. Thanks for all...

    I will mix them up some electrolytes also......didn't even think of that. I rubbed their necks to try to get rid of any blockage, but that didn't work. So Hard to see them this way.

    Can too much finely cracked corn make ducks ill.........Will they die?

    I bought the corn from Agway less than a week ago and it looks fine (I keep it in a covered metal container). They occasionally will take sips of water, but will not eat anything else. The pooh is pretty watery, but then sometimes it is when they were healthy. I will try the molasses. Thanks...

    Can too much finely cracked corn make ducks ill.........Will they die?

    I have two runners that are about 4 years old and never had a problem. This past weekend the pet sitter gave them almost 90 percent (ugh) cracked corn and when I got back Sunday night they were acting strange and didn't come running for their peas. Now they have not eaten for two days and...
