4 weeks old Cayuga not growing much

[Chi]

I have a 4 weeks old Cayuga duckling and she is not growing at all. She's also having problems recently such as limping leg (maybe she hit somewhere.) Very worried about her situations and we have to be very careful with her in the house.. i don't want to lose her . My other two moscovy ducks don't like her at all.

Keep her separate and continue to offer heat from a heatlamp. If she is still eating, that's great! Sprinkle some yeast over her food and just make sure she stays worm. I'll tag some ppl to get more help. @chickens really @Sara Ranch @drumstick diva @rjohns39 @Miss Lydia @Ravynscroft @shawluvsbirds

Make sure to use brewers yeast not bread yeast.

Do you have nutri-drench? How is she eating/drinking? Does she have grit? How's her poop look? Sorry for all the questions.

Thank you. But it's spring here in Australia temperature is around 25-30c. Is that enough ?

Is she outside? Has she ever been given heat?

Have no grit. Her poop is runny and sometime white. She is eating and drinking fine but not a lot. I feed her bread and oats she doesn't eat veggie at all.

She should be good at those temps and 4 weeks. Although it wouldn't hurt to offer a warm spot, so she could choose.

No I didn't give her heat. She is always in the hosue .

 

[rjohns39]

are you feeding a prepared feed, if so what kind and what's the protein percent?

 

[Bridger Davis]

This could be the problem. Bread is very bad for ducks and can cause a lot of problems! I think you need to get chick feed to feed her. It should have 20% protein for the next 6 weeks and then switch to a 15% protein for 10-18 weeks. Then 16% for the rest of her life. Always make sure she has access to water and right now, keep her away from the other ducks.
