Anything else that could potentially help? We're after hours now, so it might be a bit of a wait.
And - how should I clean my barn?? Clearly I'm going to have to muck out everything, but should I spray with bleach water?
I'm waiting to hear back from Hockley Mobile Vet to see if I can get antibiotics. I'm in northern Ontario, and everything is hard to get here without a prescription.
Thank you. I'm so concerned.
I'm not new to chickens, ducks or geese.
So when the ducklings were wiped out over a period of ten days - it blew me away.
I'm very careful with cleanliness/care for chicks and ducklings.
And now this new batch (well one so far) started showing similar symptoms...
Last month I had 22 of 24 ducklings die. Half were incubator hatched, half were hatched outside by Runner hens.
They were all brooded together with the hens outside.
One by one they developed eye discharge, fluorescent green liquid stool, respiratory sounds, profound weakness and then death...
