    Sleepy duckling not eating much HELP!

    Sometimes they just don’t make it. When we got chicks we had 1 go down FAST. Like I noticed that morning it wasn’t growing like the others and just “off” and by afternoon she was gone. Just take comfort in knowing you did all you could. If she makes it, a miracle! If not, I’d def rec getting a...

    Sleepy duckling not eating much HELP!

    Hmm switching to the duck crumbles was a good call. She is smaller but does she seem to be growing (you said they’re about a week old, how long have you had them). I know when we first got ducks last year our khaki Campbell (May she RIP) grew slower than our others (Rouen and pekin), but I think...

    Sleepy duckling not eating much HELP!

    Do you have pictures? When Sage does stand and move around does she seem to have any issues (bow legs, spradle, curled feet, etc)?
