    Worming a duck with SafeGuard goat wormer

    My question is, is it more effective if I just give it orally to each duck rather than in the drinking water?

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    My husband got up this morning to get ready for work and woke me up to tell me she that she did not make it through the night. 😭 I am hoping whatever was going on with her was not contagious and will not spread to my other ducks. I plan to do a deep clean of the coop today. What can I use to...

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    The first thing we noticed was that they quack was softer and then the drake curl came in on one but not on the other.

    I will have to figure out a way to separate her from the others and give her “nesting box” so she feels at home with the straw.

    And she has been spending an extra amount of time in the nest they have created, but I just thought it was because that is where she is most comfortable and the drakes don’t go in the actual coop, they only go in the run.

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    Is there a way to check to see if she is getting egg bound? I felt her under belly and it was nice and soft. I was just thinking that maybe my drake was being rough with her but they aren’t matured yet. I know for sure 1 is a drake because he has the drake curl. The other one I suspect is a...

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    She doesn’t eat her normal food. If I give her peas she gets excited and tries to eat, but only eats a little. I don’t remember her standing like this before and we have 2 other Cayugas and they don’t stand like this. Even when she is in the water she stands like this. I just gave her a bath and...

    She also stands with her butt more in the air and her chest down.

    Also she was born in February.

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    I am not sure if it’s respiratory, the only reason why I assume it could be is because of her breathing. And I do believe the vet Rx helped a little. She was in the coop last night and I was watching her on the camera and she seemed to not be doing the open mouth breathing as much. And she...

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    She was having trouble walking last night which scared me. But then I went into town and got her this vetRX from our local feed store which says it’s for respiratory issues and when I went back home to give it to her she was trying to get away from me which is an improvement. I did give her some...

    If this was the case wouldn’t my 4 other ducks and 3 chickens be exhibiting the same symptoms/behaviors since aspergillosis is contagious and airborne?

    Duck swallowing non stop and making weird squeaking noise.

    I am able to see down her bill and see the hole that you are talking about and their is no obstruction. I have been checking on her frequently without trying to stress her out more than she probably already is. And she is “wheezing” and I don’t know if it’s just because her body is working hard...

    Ok. I will keep a close eye on her. That puts my mind at ease. Google was not helping at all. Thank you!
