    Wheezing 8 month old Duck

    Sorry I never saw this reply. We ended up taking her to the vet and they weren't sure what to do about it. They gave us some antibiotic and it didn't help really. It's better on warm days so this summer she seems totally fine. :)

    Normal yolk

    Sick Duckling Please Help

    I use rubber shelf liner, towels (washed daily), and fresh clumps of grass and dirt (suggested in "Duck Eggs Daily" book). I will separate him today and see if a little TLC helps. Did yours with sour crop eventually recover? Thanks for the help too

    His crop feels soft. I felt his and then the others and it feels the same. I haven't noticed him pooping. I keep watching and I haven't seen anything. The others are pooping consistently.
