Absolutely no other symptoms than one duck started yesterday and another today having seizures. They are 11 weeks old silver Appleyard females help

I have been giving activated charcoal just in case they ate something bad. The other 17 seem fine

I would look at their feed for any mold, and look around for anything like poison, insecticide, lead paint that could have been a problem. Do either have any flaccid paralysis in legs or wings?

Nope no other issues. Just the seizures. I threw out the food and bought new just in case. There coop has no paint or stain. We use no poisons or insecticides. Now I can’t say the same for my neighbors. My ducks are in a run but we don’t have a top yet. So that wild birds mostly barn swallows and small finches get in the run.

She was having seizures every hour or so yesterday. Today they are 2+ hours apart since I started the activated charcoal.

I would also post on the duck forum and consider a vet, as I have not experience with ducks. Here is the duck forum:
