My 5 month old Pekin duck seems ill. She(he?) has been sitting in the kiddie pools for days, instead of being out and about with the other ducks and geese. I have not seen her eat much at all, but she is drinking a lot. She seems to be shivering some. The last 2 evening I had to take her to the coop as she seemed to be all ready to just sleep in the pool.
i just brought her in and have looked her over. I don't think she's been grooming much, although she has groomed a little while floating in my kitchen sink. She just looks rough, and her vent seems kind of dark and crusty. She seems to be walking OK, but maybe a bit wobbly when I had to follow her about to catch her.
I haven't seen her eat outside, but she is eating some cat food i sprinkled in the sink water.
