    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Probiotic info found here: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/page8.htm (looking for more info) Here are two ways you can introduce probiotics into your birds' diet. If you have a very small flock, GNC (in most shopping malls), sells a flavored liquid version of L. Acidophilus. I've used that at...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Check out the articles here: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/contents.htm The fungal article almost seemed a good fit, but it lacked the eye problems. Riemerella anatipestifer Infection is infectious and you said none of your other ducks are showing signs being sick?
