Update- Sadly the one little duckling did not make it and just passed away but at least its not in pain or suffering anymore and can be at peace. On the other hand the rest of our flock is doing great the one that we thought might have been getting sick is great after the vitamins we have been...
Yes we did contact hoover and ask them they said we are doing everything were suppose to do. Didn't really help much but i guess they tried. Update on our sick ducklings- the one that was in really bad shape and couldn't walk seems to be doing a little bit better its hard to tell for sure but...
I did call and they said that they didn't know. We have been researching symptoms all day and it looks identical to duck viral hepatitis. We have no idea what to do
Yeah the other ducks loved it. I guess im just worried because it was one after another that got sick. Thank you again i will continue them all on the vitamins

My ducklings are 2 weeks old as of today. I ordered them online from Tractor supply which uses Hoovers Hatchery. I have them in a plastic bin on my back porch (screened in) i have a bigger place for them made out of wood when they are ready. Im using Flake pine chips for bedding also from...
Good morning! I'm new to this website I've been reading multiple threads about my ducklings but i truly don't know what else to do. I had 9 Cayuga ducklings when i left for work yesterday they all looked healthy and happy and had plenty of food and water. I came home from work at noon and 1 of...
