    Female duck is lethargic

    Luckily, my duck started feeling a lot better yesterday and came outside most of the day and was eating more and drinking more. Poultry vitamins also arrived yesterday so we dropped a bit of that in her mouth. Obviously, we will still keep and eye on her as we do not know what might happen.

    Ok I will weigh her every day to see if she is losing weight. Thank you and I understand that you cannot help me any more.

    Female duck is lethargic

    Currently as we know of, she is only drinking. She is mostly in the house so I haven’t been able to find a poop which is definitely hers. In the morning yesterday she was scavenging in the ground for bugs and etc but she went in the house soon after.

    This is her in the house currently. They usually only come inside to lay eggs or when we put them inside at night.

    Female duck is lethargic

    What do you mean by this? (Not trying to be rude, sorry if it sounds rude) Do you mean that I drop some drips between her mouth, in her mouth, on top of her bill, below her bill??

    One last question, what happens if she doesn't drink from the vitamin-medicated water, how else would I give her the vitamins.

    Female duck is lethargic

    Will try and do but she tries to escape when we try to hold her or touch her so for the most part we will just be adding the vitamin boost to the water. Apparently under 'stress' conditions which I would say is now, I should add 5ml to 1L of water.

    Female duck is lethargic

    She is around 1 year and a half old. She has been laying for months, even though breeding season is over. She has laid around a week ago, she is quite inconsistent. She does drink however definitely not as much. Her diet is made from duck pellets mostly and vegetables such as tomatoes, cabbage...

    Female duck is lethargic

    My female mallard duck has been quite lethargic for the last few days. She stays in her house often even though she usually comes outside and strolls in the garden, and she has less movement than normal and she doesn't seem to be eating much food. Her egg shells are soft. We don't have any male...

    Just a question

    The oyster shells are arriving on 6 April. Should I buy the nutri-drops and the vitamin booster? @MasterOfClucker @Miss Lydia

    Just a question

    Should I also buy Nettex Poultry Nutri Drops?

    Just a question

    One of my hens have been laying soft eggs often for quite a while now and has not been molting. Because of this we have bought Oyster shell supplement for her. I have heard from somewhere that Nettex Vit Boost is also useful but I do not know if it would work on our ducks or if it is safe for...

    Any Hope??

    I asked about food just in case as he has spent his life domestically. However, he did forage by digging holes even though no one taught him so I guess you were right @MasterOfClucker about retaining natura instincts.

    Any Hope??

    Luckily the area is fenced off, Mallards retain wild instincts as you said so I’m guessing they would be more wary about predators than more domestic species. He can also fly really well as I saw him flying into the pond.
