Can ducklings get fowl pox?

Miss Lydia, I just reread your post and realized I missed something. I don't have oxine AH. I can't find it at any feed stores around here. Would they carry it?

I went ahead and moved her to a tractor in the front yard. She's not happy about it but at least she's stopped trying to escape. She walked around, took a couple drinks, flew at the door, hissed menacingly, etc. She's settled down some and last I looked at her she was standing over her nest, looking like she was trying to decide whether or not to sit on it. I'll go check on her again in a couple minutes. It looks like she'll accept her nest and resume her Mama job. I hope she does. I haven't given her food yet, because I don't want to encourage her to stay up and eat. I'll probably put that in tomorrow. Is that a good idea? o.0

She didn't sit on them last night. i went out to check on her when I woke up this morning and she was off the nest, trying to escape again. The eggs were stone cold. I took them inside to candle them to see if they were still alive. They were congealed and horrible looking. There was no movement whatsoever. I was devastated. I moved her back to the coop and gave her the eggs back. I didn't know what else to do and I didn't have time to think about it. We went to town for a couple hours and when I got back I candled 2 of her eggs again to see if they really were dead. I guess they were just cold that morning because they were swimming around like nothing had ever happened. I only candled the 2, but that's still 2 live babies that I thought were dead. I'm assuming at least most of the others are still alive as well. At least I'm hopeful.

I'm sorry My computer is really acting up today and i just now saw this, you will probably have to order on line, i get mine from Revival animal health sorry i just saw your post. and also sorry she didn't move good, well as soon as the ducklings/chicks hatch move her then she'll accept it better. Thank goodness they are still alive.
