Hello! First time duck/chicken owner and poster. We’ve been gone for the past week with another duck/chicken watching our chickens and ducks. One of our 3 month old Welsh Harlequins seemed lethargic yesterday. I washed all the feeders and the water dish and the pool and gave them all new water and food yesterday. I put Metzler‘s waterfowl boost in the ducks water dishes. This morning when she came out of the coop into the fenced in area, she walked about 3 feet and laid down and started shaking. I put our sick coop around her with fresh boosted water and a small food dish so she is separated but can still see the rest of the flock. She has been taking drinks of the water and stood up for a while but she keeps laying back down with her head down. I’m not sure if she ate a plant she wasn’t supposed to if it’s from the smoke from the wildfires or what’s going on. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated!

Hi how is your duck doing? I don’t have ducks, but we can try to get someone over here for advice if you need help still. Sorry you never got a response
