3 wk old duckling sick

[chickens really]

I'll start a thread then.

Will you list all infection Etc that can cause them to have seizures. I've never personally had any to have seizures.

I haven’t ever had any of my birds have seizures but sure have read of many on here.

I have been reading and it defintley sounds like wry neck but I do think its from niacin deficiency which is why she having seizures she seems to have trouble getting up after them. But she extends her neck way back on her back when she has them as if she has a rubber neck.

She got the the 3ml today. But looks like I should add vitamin E if it is indeed the case not sure how much my nutritional yeast has but I could also get a liquid of that if they sell it. Not sure of the dosage on that though.

How much does she weigh?

 

[chickiebean85]

I have no idea, not sure I can get her to stay on a scale.

Can you guess? Hold her, then hold a can of soup or something and guess.

 

[casportpony]

If you have a food scale just put her in a Tupperware or box and weigh her. Some will just stand on them:

Well she's 7 weeks now and she is a silver appleyard not sure when they reach adult size or how much she will weigh but I will say 4lbs.
