I use the same, Non GMO chick starter. I was just thinking that maybe over load in the water. But if you have used it before with no bad effects then by all means keep it up. I’d do 1 tab of brewers yeast to each cup of feed you give them though per Rec.in Story’s guide to raising ducks and Metzers web page. WH beautiful ducks.

I don’t put the brewers yeast in the water, I sprinkle that over their feed

 

[Miss Lydia]

Do you give 1 tab per cup of feed?

No it is powder and you sprinkle on the food

 

[Miss Lydia]

What’s abs?

What’s abs?

Sorry, typo. Was suppose to say “and you sprinkle”

A friend was just saying she was wondering if because she is a hatchery duck, maybe they “helped her along” with her hatch. Maybe she wasn’t quite ready...

 

[Miss Lydia]

I doubt they have the time but can you imagine they hatch are sexed tossed into a box carried to PO and shipped where they can be up to 3 days in transit some just don’t take the travel as well being she is smaller she may have gotten stepped on or tossed around more too. Any change since last you gave her water?

No, can’t imagine...lil babies.
Nothing had really changed. I am just hanging by the brooder. Tried to get some mush feeb into her bill, but she keeps shaking it out. She does keep drinking on her own, but not nearly as often as the others. She has poo’ed 2 more time but now it just appears to be clear liquid...I’m sure cause she is only drinking

 

[Miss Lydia]

@casportpony any ideas on how to get this lil one to eat? Drinking is good though especially with PND in it. I sure hope she’ll be okay is she interacting at all with the other ducklings
