Does ur duck do this
Ok so my year old drake named Jasper was raised inside with us for awhile and then introduced to two younger ducks about 2 weeks after is liter mate died.

Sick Pekin-greenish diarrhea and lethargic
well for being 6 months he sounds pretty active. Im sure he just wore himself out matting and now hes sore. Keep an eye on him and try to not let him mate anymore for a few days. -
Sick Pekin-greenish diarrhea and lethargic
I had a duck injure itself almost every time it matted. It would fall out of the pool and hurt its leg. Silly duck. Took him up to a week to stop limping. -
Sick Pekin-greenish diarrhea and lethargic
my ducks poo green a lot so color doesn't really mean anything and sometimes when my ducks are stressed out from being chased or just anything they will get diarrhea but they get better after a day or two. My ducks dont act the same either when they mate. How often does he try to mate? He might... -

do you have any other ducks he could be trying to mate with? He could be just worn out if thats the case. Give him lost of fresh water and food. 24hrs is not too bad. My ducks usually bounce back the next day after being watched closely -
Boy do I have a problem with my boy
Oh wow whats goin on with these boys of ours. I wish I could help but I barley got my problem somewhat under control. I hope it works out. maybe just keep it up and gotta show him whos boss.

Ok that's what i was thinking. I can tell Jasper is depressed, so is his mate and drake friend. They really do love each other and its sad to not see him with his family. I can take smaller babies inside at night and during day when im not there and leave the older ones in the kennel all the... -
