Hi I am new to owning Muscovy ducks. I was given 4. We built a pen and a run. We bought the starter food and let them free range. The ducks were born may 16. We had a female and three boys. They were all doing great. One morning last week we went to let them out and the female was dead. Then about 2 days later a male died. We took it to the vet and he said it had a heart attack and figures there was a genetic condition so gave us electrolytes to give the last two. This morning we let them out and they were fine but we put them in their pen while we were at work. Tonight one of the other males is behaving the same as the others did. I don’t know what is going on. Maybe the vet is right but they have died so spread out from each other. Does anyone have any thoughts. I feel like we have done something wrong
