2nd Muscovy baby girl sick

[ducklover128]

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 female, on her back with her booty in the drain hole. I got her out, warmed her up, and she seems ok. I'm too scared to put her back with mom and siblings. Please help me, I'm not sure what to do. I don't wanna lose another one . She is about 7 weeks old. No visible injuries, she's feisty, she's eating and drinking, she's walking...the only thing I noticed, was when I first picked her up, her pupils were going big to small to big to small really fast. The first one that died had the same thing. But her pupils are normal now. I want her to be with her family, but I don't know if they will hurt her again.....it's mom and a bunch of unruly boys.

The dilated pupils sounds like shock... has there been any "surprises" or possible attacks from other flock members? I'd keep her in a warm, quiet area. Maybe a little bit of B12 or sugar water to help keep her going. I'll tag a few people who can maybe help

You say unruly boys do you mean adult drakes? If so you need to separate mama and ducklings from them. Drakes are known to kill ducklings they can even mate with them way too young.

No surprises, no attacks. I don't know how early they start to fight with each other, but they all seem to get along well. She has been running around the house and seems fine. I just want everybody to be happy, but safety is my main concern. Thank you so much. I need all the help I can get.

No maam, they are all the same age. Unruly boys are her siblings. Momma had 9 babies, I think only 2 girls and 7 boys.
