Hello!
We bought some chicks and 2 ducklings from our local Tractor Supply yesterday. Everyone seems to be getting along in the brooder except for our brown duckling. It's been drinking a lot of water. Not running around like everyone else. I haven't seen it eat yet. I did see it poop a couple of times today and it was white with a watery consistency.
Most of the time it sits or lays down and peeps, until it gets up to the second water dish (we have 2, one for the ducks to lay in that has rocks in it to stop everyone from drowning) and a chick waterer.
I'm wondering if maybe it has a blockage? If so, what can I give it? Our vet services everyone within like... a 100 mile radius so there is no way I'd be able to get the little tike into the vet right now.
