3 week old Duckling looking sick! HELP!!!

[RainbowHen]

They are just turning 3 weeks old, just starting to lose their yellow coloring and becoming white. We mostly use newspapers just for easy cleanup since they're outside for most of the day and only inside at night.

Hmm. Sounds like you are doing great. I would definitely get some eye ointment. Best of luck!

Yeah I was just reading article. I've never had to use any medication on my ducks before so I'm just not sure what to use and where to get it from. Just a nervous protective duck mom

Actually its so wonderful that you are trying hard. I like it. I really hope this works out.

Ducks are so wonderful also. They have really nice personalities. You can do a lot of 'feeding' type of games with them also. Like I'll get a plum or pieces of fruit, and cut it into really tiny pieces and play games with tossing them one at a time at them and seeing who gets it first.
