sick duckling

Please help! I got home late from work and found this Muscovy duckling stuck alone outside the coop. (My ducks put themselves to bed using a ramp, for some reason ramp was down and she couldn't make the jump up into the coop this time.) I think she was stuck outside for at least an hour, maybe...

Hi I just received a Silver Appleyard Duckling from Metzer Farms. He is very lethargic, can’t stand up, eyes seem to have discharge or like a whiteish film? Barely opens them so I’m not sure. Wont eat, does drink a little water when I bring him to it but other than that, pretty much nothing 😭 is...

A week ago I had some ducklings hatch. They were all fine for about 5-6 days then they started not acting right and their bills and legs turned very pale/white. Shortly after I found them they just started dying. I’ve hatched over a 100 ducklings and chicks this year already and I haven’t had...

I had some ducklings hatch a week ago and I had 1 yellow duckling hatch. For the first 6 days it had a normal colored pale pink bill. Then this afternoon I went to check on them and it’s bill and legs were very pale/white. It died about 30 minutes later. Any idea what happened or why it died...

Hello everyone! I have my first ducks, two Pekins approx. 6-8 weeks. Judging by their voices at this stage, we’re pretty sure they’re a male and a female. The one we think is female is named Ernie and for the past few days she has been acting off. Much less talkative and animated, just stands...

I had a baby Muscovy that got hurt a few days ago, I got her all warmed up and she was feisty as ever, so I put her back with mom and siblings. That was Sunday, I believe. On Tuesday, I fed em all, everybody was fine. We left for a few hours, came home and she was dead. Today I found another...

I have a Welsh Harlequin duckling that is not doing well. She(?) acts like she feels ok but she is not growing and she has an area around her eyes that is missing down and just looks unhealthy. (See photos) I tried frequent assisted head dunkings but it did not help. All the other 40 ducks...

I just got some ducklings in the mail from a breeder today. They were in the post office for a day bc I couldn't get there on time yesterday. They all seem fine, except for one that's acting weak and wobbling its head a lot. I'm worried that it might be sick or dying from the stress of shipping...

I found my duckling Little Foot back on the 15th. I went to the run to return a baby I had hatched (its shell had been badly broken and I repaired and incubated it {foreshadowing}) and saw a little duckling not moving. I picked her up and saw her yolk was still attached. My girl Eyebrows is a...

I have four ducklings, about four weeks old. Got home today and two of the four were VERY weak and barely moving, I got them out and took them and sat in a very warm quiet place and they slept for about an hour and seemed to start to get some life back. One of the two was so bad to start with he...

This duck was about a day old when we got it, but it was in a pretty bad environment. When the lady opened up the duckling coop, there were three dead ones and they all looked kinda unhealthy. Anyways, we got a one day old call duck and a two day old pekin because I didn’t want them ti be by...

Please Help! Any advice greatly appreciated!! We have a duckling that hatched early with yolk sack still not finished absorbing. We assisted 36 hours after external pip after realizing membrane was sticky and stuck to duckling. After hatching left in incubator for 24 hours but had trouble...

My duckling's name is Anna, native to Vietnam, I hatched her by myself and she is 18 days old now. However, two days ago, her neck suddenly turned to one side, my father told her she was choking, he bent her neck and gave her some medicine. But from that day, she suddenly became depressed, her...

Help! My duckling, Charlie is about two weeks old. Yesterday she started developing these weird, scary growths on her cheeks, and I’m seriously freaked out and terrified for her! I’ve read about swollen cheeks because of sinus infection on here, but her nares look clear and the big bumps are...

Hello! I have a week old duckling with an injured beak. I was taking her outside on a nice sunny day, keeping her safe in my hands. My little flock of adult ducks waddled over, seeming interested. I crouched down, holding the baby (her name is Layla and she’s a Welsh Harlequin) close to my body...

I hatched 5 ducklings and one of them is not okay. He can take 2-3 steps and just falls forward like he’s too too heavy and will just lay there. The other ones are running around and are very lively. What do I do?! We are feeding them purina flock raiser crumbles and they have access to fresh water.

Hi everyone, I just want to check my duckling is okay! He seems to eat and drink fine (his breathing has been a little stuffy when he’s eating) but he almost looks like his chest isn’t right?? I’m going to book him a vet appointment but just wanted to see what everyone thought before I did:(
