UPDATE
I got a few new types of feed and treats to see if I could get them to eat and one of them worked!!!!!! They are eating it right now!
Hopefully their quack will come back!
Lol ! Quackery is actually the name of one of my ducks! I’ll keep y’all updated, just made a trip to the feed store and got a bunch of stuff to hopefully help them get better.
Fingers crossed!
I am feeding them wild game bird crumbles. No feed stores near me sell duck feed ( which I thought was weird seeing as how I’m more out into the country).
I hope so I like them a whole lot and would hate to lose any of them. I don’t know if you saw the post but I added organic apple cider...
Thanks!
Yes I have. They all tried but it sounds like they have gone hoarse. I haven Drake’s and they sound nothing like this. A few of them have tried to quack but it sounds strained.
I do not know how to post photos.
My other ducks have a coop but I didn’t want to get them sick Incase these ones are sick. They are currently in my backyard and their pen is right by my window. We don’t really have any issues with predators. I have gotten new ducks before and my ducks hatched...
I have drakes and none of them sound like this. A few of the ducks managed to squeak out a quack like sound when I first got them and they where still freaked out from the car ride.
*UPDATE*
The Ducks did not leave their pool all night. They also still haven’t eaten and continue to be unable to actually quack or make any proper duck nosies.
They also haven’t eaten any of the food I have set out. The previous owner may have fed them but like I said their stool only had dirt clumps mixed in with a little water. They haven’t left their pool this whole time. They where so thirsty, they just sat and drank for awhile.
Yes, I can kinda hear some normal duck noises from them but most just this weird raspy sound. It’s not the sound a drake makes. It sounds like their voices have gone hoarse.
I recently adopted 8 ducks that the owner was giving away for free. The ducks had no pool just a small dish of water and the ground was dirt. They are not quacking and when I looked at their poop it was dirt in small amounts of water. I have given them two plastic pools one deep enough for them...
